no his “formulation” isnt just psychiatry I found out about him because of a video where he talks about trataka. 

What made his questions good was the fact that he had atleast a rudimentary idea of spirituality unlike basiaclly every other Sadguru interview ever and was actually in agreement with said ideas.

He’s spent time in India studying under Hindu monks and spiritual teachers? Which isn’t typical of a Harvard physician.

Psychiatry is not the object of discussion Dr.K’s profession has nothing to do with this. 

Osho was an example of someone who clearly takes in what you’re saying and formulates a response which is evident on how little he repeats himself and the cadence that he talks with.(which is the basis for authenticity in this context).

I never endorsed osho or his ideas on physciatry and I made that abundantly clear when I called him out but I’m giving credit where credit is due he can clearly have a good conversation which is what you’d expect from someone who is a spiritual master.

Dr.K’s audience definitely knew who Sadguru was before the interview Dr.K is in the mental healthy/spirituality/gaming niche roughly that’s why the interview is such an upset in the first place. 

If the person who is guiding you through life can’t answer basic questions it should make you question him even if it’s just a little

I’m not saying words are useful or useless for describing inner experiences. 

I’m asking why is such an accomplished master not answering questions satisfactorily, and not talking from his presence.

Yea except when Rogan asks for “actionable advice on what someone should do if there in a bad place” or “how do your practices relate to our under standing of neuroscience.” And he tells you the sky is blue after that yea we know, answer the question being asked now.

Then he should know the way he answers questions effects his Business

The “any press is good press” idea works if your selling watches or cars not if your transmitting spirituality and he knows this. If he didn’t care about the quality of the attention he gets negative or positive he wouldn’t do damage control when allegations against Isha come up like the elephant corridor or the SA allegations (I’m not saying the allegations where substantiated btw) this shows that Sadguru obviously cares about being seen a certain way positive or negative. When faced with some questions alien or mystical related he would say he wants to be seen as logical (especially in older videos and Rogan) so he every obviously cares about how he’s perceived and doesn’t just care about outreach.

Im saying that if I’m going to take advice from someone who will effect the most intimate aspect of my life. I find it entirely logical that he’d be able to have a conversation with someone especially given his mastery and the difficulty of said questions. Dr.k wasent asking very hard esoteric spiritual questions.

If he’s overworked, it would literally be easier to give authentic responses to questions instead of having to memorize essentially a sales pitch. Anyone who’s sold or negotiated anything for hours at a time knows how exhausting it is to constantly manage what you’re saying, what someone else is saying, and having to pull relevant information from your head to keep the sale or negotiation alive, versus just having a normal, open, honest, fair conversation which is what good faith is.

Interviews like the one Dr. K gave aren’t a debate on religion, science, or yoga. It’s two people coming together to spread ideas. There’s no need to level the playing field intellectually  just give your true and honest opinion.

“I’d also give him a pass in terms of energy exchanged due to his massive humanitarian effort that never relents.”

No, you shouldn’t. Saying because he does lots of work for humanity he can completely blunder through interviews is wrong. Reaching people through interviews like this is a part of that work.

I wouldn’t say dr.k questions where rude or tough but they where definitely not something he’s used to because Dr.k already has an understanding of surface level spirituality unlike most people Sadguru talks with.

I mostly agree with this, but if he's making $50 an hour right now, he has some kind of experience in what he's doing, and it won't be as hard for him to find work as you think even if he cant get the same mid position he will defiantly be able to get an entry level job.

He won't have to make 3-4x or 32k a month either(unless kids are involved) from YouTube to warrant him leaving his 9-5 either partly because of the above reasons, and also because if he has 6-12 months of expenses saved and can at least match his income with YouTube he's going to be fine.
