Talk@ In Conversation with the Mystic, Dr. Sanjeev K. Chaudhry, CEO of Super Religare Laboratories (SRL) with Sadhguru, New Delhi.
Questioner (Sanjeev Chaudhary): Sadhguru, first of all, thank you for having this ‘Conversation with Mystic’ series in Delhi. Delhi has disproportionate influence on the health and karma of this nation. So we always welcome you in Delhi and _____ us.

Sanjeev Chaudhary: First question, Sadhguru. In your closing comment on the education segment, you talked about the marvel that human body is, the importance to have good pregnancy, raise good children, educate good children. Recent medical research shows that mother’s milk for a male child and a female child is different. In fact, it is so magical that if mother has twins, a male and a female child at the same time, the milk for the male child and the milk for the female child is also different.

Sadhguru: Did you know that in the culture, we’ve always known this? Your grandmother has always known this. It’s just that, what we have always known, you have to do a billion dollar research today, that’s the whole problem.

Sanjeev Chaudhary: So the first question, Sadhguru, is – you’re probably one of the busiest people in this country. You… those of us who’ve seen you work, it’s well past midnight. You’re probably up… if at all you are sleep by three AM and health is all about stamina and fitness and remaining in a peak state of awareness. Would you be happy to share the magic of what you do to stay alert and healthy to such _____

Sadhguru: I… I don’t get to do most of the things I know I should do about myself, because of the schedule and the travel. Usually, I am…an important part of health is – how you eat. And most of the time, I’m eating in somebody’s home. So I have to eat to their satisfaction, not to my health. You know, this is India. Hospitality means you must eat two people’s food, not one! So considering all that, I have… the choice is… gets quite restricted.

So what do I do? What… what I say right now, may not be a practical suggestion, because you can’t take it as a tip and do this. I do every day one, twenty seconds of sadhana. That is I just let my energies run through a (an?) overhaul in the morning and that’s all I do. I have no regular exercise regimen; I don’t walk every day, I… Nothing! But since I am twenty-five years of age to this day, my weight has not varied more than two kilograms. I have been seventy-four, seventy-five since I was twenty-five. It’s just that little from my shoulder, it slipped little down. It was all on my shoulder, now kind of going towards the earth. Except for that, which I am wanting to correct.
