To break the conversation's rhythm, Sadhguru reads 'Substance Abuse,' a poem about finding ecstasy and peak alertness simultaneously from within — without needing alcohol, drugs, or secrecy. The poem sets up his argument that the body is the most sophisticated chemical factory on the planet, and a 'lousy CEO' is running it if the output is stress and misery rather than bliss. He then weaves in a story from Tel Aviv, where a man greeted him with 'Shalom' — peace. Sadhguru's observation: in southern India, if someone greets you with 'Peace,' you'd think something was wrong.

His conclusion: joy, peace, love, and bliss are human emotions needed right here, not exported to heaven.
