The conversation began with a discussion of soil degradation, with a specific focus on Africa where desertification of the soil has reached 45%, and where the risk of serious human suffering caused by food and water shortages is heightened by the rapidly growing population.
The two also spoke about the history of African Americans and the current challenges they face. Sadhguru said that we need to turn the pain and hardship of the past into vital wisdom, honor those who went through unimaginable experiences, and not to view community struggles as a battle because anger and resentment will only hinder the process. Rather, he suggested they be looked at as opportunities for self-transformation and community empowerment.
