The discussion revolves around the number 33, which Sadhguru identifies as a significant age in a person's life. He explains that in yogic culture, the first 8 and a half years of life are considered childhood, after which a person starts to become an adult. He suggests that if you add two solar cycles (24 years) to this, it results in approximately 33 years. He asserts that this age is a moment of potential development or destruction in a person's life.
Sadhguru explains that the time before 33 is a period of preparation, during which one should focus on organizing their inner geometry, energy processes, thoughts, and emotions. He emphasizes that this preparation is crucial for a person's life to reach a new level of development.
He also discusses the concept of midlife crisis in Western societies, which typically occurs around 33-34 years old, and how it signals a time for either development or destruction. He notes that if a person has prepared well during their youth, they can make their midlife crisis an auspicious time in their life.
Additionally, Sadhguru talks about the significance of 60 years old, stating that it is a time when a person's fundamental structure within the system begins to change. He suggests that this time offers a new opportunity for development, but it is essential to keep oneself in good shape to take advantage of this opportunity.
He concludes by emphasizing the importance of not exhausting oneself too early and to focus on organizing one's system before the age of 33. He warns against the pitfalls of rushing into success and emphasizes the importance of enjoying life and experiencing its taste in every moment.
