Longtime UFC commentator and top podcast host Joe Rogan shared a video snippet from an Indian Yoga Guru’s session on his Instagram.

Rogan, who has been associated with the premiere MMA promotion for over 20 years, also dubs himself as a Stand-up comic/mixed martial arts fanatic/psychedelic adventurer. Hence, sometimes, the third side of Rogan, i.e. the spiritualistic one, is also noticeable to his followers.

Rogan, who is currently engulfed in a misinformation controversy, shared a life lesson from Jagadish “Sadhguru” Vasudev, that almost seems like an ode to his current situation.“Repost: @sadhgurustory But it’s fashionable to suffer… #sadhguru #suffer #abuse,” Rogan captioned the post.

“Your whole life is happening between these three dimensions: memory, present experience, and imagination. This is your life, isn’t it? These are the three dimensions. We call them Trikala: three dimensions of time. All your experience of life is happening here, but if you lose distinction between what is past, what is present, and what is future, then everything hurts,” Sadhguru was heard saying.

“But not everybody terrible things have happened. Unfortunately, for a few people, they have happened. For the rest of the people are simply suffering something, isn’t it? Because it’s fashionable to suffer.”

“People think if they are suffering, they are very intellectual; they are very profound. No, it’s just stupid, because you are suffering something that doesn’t exist. You are not suffering what’s happening right now. You are suffering what happened yesterday, and you are suffering that may happen tomorrow already. So, this madness has been encouraged simply because we never trained people how to use their faculties,” the Yoga Guru continued.

Joe Rogan has Lord Shri Ganesh in his studio

From the aforementioned, we can get a hint that Joe Rogan is really a firm believer in spirituality. However, this is not the first time the color commentator has showcased it. Back in 2020, Rogan installed an idol of Lord Shri Ganesh, a deity from Hindu scriptures, in his studio.

He also has a Lord Buddha idol in his office and to top that off, he’s got himself a tattoo in his arms of Lord Shri Shiv.

Needless to say, Rogan has shown himself to be a spiritualistic person. And it has not fared badly for Rogan, as he signed a lucrative $100 million deal with Spotify back in 2020. Apart from that deal, he has been successful in other endeavors as well.
