In this week’s podcast, Sadhguru explains that democracy is a participatory process, not a spectator sport. To make the democratic system function at its best, it is important that people see how to participate on all levels. Otherwise, without participation a democracy can become like a feudalistic system.

Sadhguru addresses the dilemma of why spirituality is not a living process in everyone’s life, despite ancient cultures like India being fully dedicated towards that at one time. The reason is simply because in recent times, largely spirituality has not been handled with the right commitment.
