The ordinary sense of “me” is built out of two things:
1. Physiology — the body’s needs, biology, survival impulses
2. Psychology — memories, impressions, likes, dislikes, fears, hopes, conditioning
When Sadhguru says “you are responding either to your physiological or psychological needs,” he means:
Everything the person does — desires, fears, reactions, choices — usually comes from:
The body’s compulsions (hunger, comfort, s*x, safety, hormones)
The mind’s compulsions (identity, belief, trauma, ego, pride, opinions)
These two layers create the illusion of a “self.”
What we normally call “me” is actually a bundle of reactions:
The body pushes us in one way.
The mind pulls us in another. And we respond from those impulses.
We think: “This is who I am.”
But in truth, it is just: biology + memory
chemistry + conditioning patterns + past
When awareness dawns, we see we are not these patterns.
Sadhguru is pointing us toward the GAP where the real Self is found.
When we watch the body’s needs and mind’s reactions as a witness, suddenly we see:
“These are happening in me, but they are not me.”
That is the moment the idea of a separate, conditioned person starts dissolving.
Why this matters spiritually, because as long as we think:
“I am my thoughts,”
“I am my body,”
“I am my reactions,”
we remain trapped in the transactional reality (vyavaharika).
But when we see:
The body is just nature.
The mind is just memory.
The person is just conditioning.
—we begin to sense the Witness, the Sakshi, the I-AM that is untouched.
