You read that right. This is a fascinating conversation between a very grounded mystic, Sadhguru, and the race car driver, Danica Patrick. Now, I know nothing about Danica Patrick other than what I've read in either the sports page or on the internet. I was surprised and delighted not just by her obvious intelligence, but with her authenticity as a person and the genuine nature of her questions. She's not someone who already thinks she has the answers. A rare quality, that.
Humility is a necessary prerequisite for knowledge. Unless your cup is empty, no one can pour anything in. If your cup is full of yourself -- your pride, your vanity, your ego -- then you won't have the space inside for new learning. I was surprised but happy to see that Danica has the humility to actually learn. If you have the requisite qualities, then perhaps you'll learn something from this video as well.
A sneak preview: as I used to tell a hyperactive three year old in my classroom last year: "Being still is the first super power. If you can do that, then all the others will follow."
