Episode notes
Runanubandha Is Physical Memory Not Genetics
- Runanubandha is the body's physical memory formed by contact and intimacy, distinct from genetic inheritance.
- Sadhguru explains it develops even from holding hands or sexual and blood relationships, not from DNA traits.
Customs That Prevent Creating Bondages
- Indian cultural practices minimize creating new runanubandha by avoiding direct hand-to-hand exchanges of certain items like salt or soil.
- Sadhguru links these customs to a conscious effort to keep life bondages minimal for spiritual liberation.
Physical Memory Causes Bodily Confusion
- The body remembers intimacy with people and substances, and excessive physical memory causes bodily confusion.
- Sadhguru says this confusion reduces ease and exuberance, making one less alive to their surroundings.
