When I'm famous the first interview I'm going to try and do is Impact Theory.
@Joshua William Let him work in silence
@@mr.goophychopra1617 I was disappointed seeing same comment lmao just 1 minute ago to this on Ellen felt this a copypaste.
I thought I will support dude.
But, no self promotion is annoying work hard to earn is best I feel.
🤦♂️
Unique_007 can’t please everyone. Just gotta keep workin
Joshua William stand up comedian, actor, and public speaker. Have done paid speaking gigs through being found on RUclips which is awesome!
It takes courage to show your true Self to the world but that's where your best life is 🙌🏼
Wow.. so true my friend 👏🙌
If you need courage, is that really your true, authentic self?
@@gedas7058 Sadhguru/Mooji seem to skip the 'show and tell' phase!
@@moiseechen I'm not sure what you meant, could you elaborate on that?
Your statement shows that you didn't understand nothing.And is ok, because is not to understand, but to experience
"That's the greatest need in the world: The value of compassion, the character of integrity." He nailed it.
I guess it all depends on how you define “integrity.” But in this Swami’s case, he should stay away from that word. Something may be watching us all- only that One knows the truth in a person’s heart. This guy, in my opinion, has no “integrity”. But he is filthy rich!
At 31yrs old i'm starting to understand myself.
Same here. What have you learned so far?
Same here
I'll be 40 in a few weeks, I am now discovering who I am and who I want to be.
For last 3 weeks I was sure that I'm 29. Today I realised that it's 2019 and I'm just 28 :D I've just earned a whole year!
Read bhagwad gita u definitely understand ur self
I really enjoyed this interview. What an amazing guest. Thank you for this!
Hello.I've watched some of your videos. I guess you thought about Marcus Aurelius at some points.
For me, these quotes by Marcus Aurelius came to my mind:
"Whoever values peace of mind and the health of the soul will live the best of all possible lives."
"He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe."
"You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength."
Have a nice day! :)
Eizelganger is here....woww!!!
sup bro
May we no longer see the world through dirty mirrors.... Tom is the best interviewer because he himself is sincerely searching for contentment. He isn't interviewing folks just to maintain a RUclips presence. Tom is already wealthy financially and now he is stretching his roots to connect with us all. I have a feeling from Toms back story that his success left him unfulfilled spiritually as well. Just look up his story about his journey with Quest and how his step dad made him feel. I am so Proud of you Tom for checking your ego at the door and allowing us all to be watered from your interviews with those who are enlightened. Much Love to everyone here!!!
Tom never ceases to amaze me. His preparation for his interviews shines through with his questions. Thank you Tom for all that you do.
He's a godsend! And an example of exuding one's true self. Thank you, Tom.
Tom is absolutely terrific. I love his podcast. He cannot know everything about people he books on his show, he wouldn’t have the time. Most real spiritual masters are not heads of wealthy religious organizations. The Krishna Temple has some good aspects, but some of what their “leaders” have done to get to the top is horrific. Tony Soprano was more spiritual than this mofo.
He didn’t prepare enough to address the Swami’s role in several murders, drug dealing and wide spread child abuse in the Krishna temple.
…and interrupts too much
Hare Krishna Hare krishna

I felt like he was talking directly to me because there were so much things I could relate to. I'm a surfer and I also grew up in a family where we drink a type of psychedelic called ayahuasca, what he says is precisely the truth , you can have a sense of awareness with psychedelics but it won't take you beyond to find your true self unless you're willing to walk a spiritual path with good actions. Loved the show ! Thank you Tom !
As someone who's studied under ISKCON for 6 years and has also followed this show since it's inception, I'm so delighted that episode has happened. 😃🙌🏻
Tom, if you're reading this I am thanking you from the bottom of my heart for making this amazing show and bringing such inspiring people and letting them spread their knowledge and wisdom to all of us. Thank you million times!!!!
... well said, I'll piggyback on that!
I really really love Tom and hope one day I could meet him in person and tell him how his show is making a huge impact on my mindset and my life in general!!
I definitely recommend his books! The Journey Home and The Journey Within changed my life 🙏💗
Which book, the journey home or within? First read would be?
@@mohaklondhe3020 first the journey home, then within :)
@@way.truth.life. ok. I did not like this interview though. Book may be really good. Have you read from the Known?
@@mohaklondhe3020 no I I haven't read that book, what's it about?
@@way.truth.life. Its Freedom From The Known
I love that impact theory is giving space to spiritual individuals like this guy. Keep it up Tom!
We are all spiritual actually but don't know it. Secular western shit society to credit for that
BEST EVER INTERVIEW. I have listened to a lot of stuff on RUclips but this rocks. The advice and analogies are reverberating in my psyche, and touch the eternal in me and my life and pursuits. The best. Love is truly THE POWER. This made me actually 😭 cry like tears streaming down my face no joke. To be an instrument of grace. That’s all I ever wanted and would walk through fire for without hesitation because LOVE. Roots... I am that. Defenders of the divine. The eternal within. I am you.
You got it , (True Love )
Yes. Perfect. Krishna m is very happy with you. Dissolve your identity given to you by the true God and clap to the illusion of gaining something by losing something that has been falsely labeled false ego. I hope for you figure it who true Krishna really is before is too late.
I couldn't agree with you anymore
Listen to Sadhguru too
@@rohitrawat9666 and j Krishnamurthy
Not gonna lie... I struggled to understand the beginning of this interview but towards the end I "got it" and could feel the vibe and compassion this man has in his heart. Great interview Tom, you are such a humble interviewer! Thanks for this video!
I wonder if he has compassion for the kids of the men he helped murder?
Hare Krishna hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna hare hare. Hare ram hare ram, ram ram hare hare
Oh finally 😌. Hare Krishna🙏🙏
"The greatest achievement I can atain is the opportunity to humble myself to be an instrument of grace to serve others." Wow.
What is amazing about this is that you can see Radhanath Swami is talking about something that he is living.
Tom, you're the best! I send you grace, positive Energy and love from Germany! I just took my bar exam 2 months ago to become a lawyer and you have no idea how much your videos and podcasts helped me to believe in myself and push me through the hard days, as well as push me on the good days. I wish you and your wife nothing but the best in life!
Hajan Tamim congratulations Hajan . Wish you the very best of breakthroughs ahead
"When I see myself as my real self, & my real potential, I see myself as a part of god & everyone." Wow true.
It has been said million times but Tom is one of the best interviewers out there.
Hare Krishna,

Feel like my break through started at 25. I felt reborn
I totally felt his energy. I was so calmed by this interview.
Exactly ! His energy was everything. And how amazing we can feel that from the screens.
Radhanath Swami is the man!! Great that you had him on, a Chicago kid who ended up finding deep peace!!!
True. 👍
The wisdom shared on this episode by Radhanath Swami is amazing! Thanks for having him on the show Tom.
This “Swami” is a liar.
@@Lyra1.618 how So??
@@reezroycas4939 do your own research.
@@Lyra1.618 he is exact no need research
The sun is full of heat but when you turn your face away from the Sun, you see a shadow.The shadow is the illusion.👍
In my analogy, life is the Sun, and Heat is all the challenges we have to face in life, our work, health, relationships etc. But when we run away from the pain we have to face in all these facades then that's the illusion, because we must surely face them someday.
He has a peaceful calming voice.
When I could really start digesting the content (around the 20 minute mark), I paused and reflected over what he was saying. When I pressed play on the 2nd part of the talk.....wow! The way he articulated the simplicity of things is just refreshing.
Again, great guest Tom and thank you Radhanath Swami!
"Th false ego is when we identify w/ our designations (roles, assignments, etc) as myself." Deep. "Seeing myself as separate from all else is the false ego."
"That's the greatest need in the World: the Value of Compassion, the Character of Integrity"
👍
Might put it on my wall.
Radanath Swami's voice is so soft and relaxed, I could see Tom is falling asleep. I'm falling asleep until I was distracted with a new journal bullet app :)
Ultimately, we’re all seeking pleasure. Happiness is the goal. Remember to enjoy the small things every day instead of having life pass you by in the pursuit of some far away goals /pleasure.
"Some people can create a certain vibe that is just so rare in this world..." Tom, I had an opportunity to sit in Radhanath Swamis lecture and attend his kirtan once and i couldn't agree more with those ending words!
The deeper we dig within, the better we understand the life around us. All secrets of life are with, we just have to stop and feel them.
My boss is here...I Salute.Greetings from Ghana🇬🇭
@@raymondtendau2749 Salute bro
:)
There's a remarkable awakening occuring amongst even our celebrities whom have so much to "lose" in the material realm, but more impactfully through their illusion of their current Self, which has been in continual flux as they change character.
These discussions are so important to be had. Spread your inner light. 💖
Radhanath swami maharaj was inspired me beyond my Limit of imagination. He has thousands of disciples who follow the footsteps of Guru parampara. Many disciples dedicated their whole life for practicing Bhakti yoga. I personally live in His Farm Community Govardhan Eco Village, wada . I found most Beautiful soul who always the instrument of humbleness and compassion. I never show Him in Anger. He is the perfect example of spreading love and Harmony in the World 🌎. I very fortunate to serve almost 2 years 5 months in His Farm Community Govardhan Eco Village, a model based on sustainability and Harmony with self. I wish and pray to lord Krishna that Govardhan eco village Grow each years and awarded many awarded as we get each years. All Glorious to srila Prabhupad 👣👣👣
Omg that episode ended in a minute, I can listen to him forever 🙏
Absolutely love the Redwood Tree analogy! Thank you for bringing him on Impact Theory!
I just got so emotional at the end 😭
Simply amazing ♥️
Best interview 👍 dandavat pranam Maharaj 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Hare Krishna Hari bol 👍🙏😀
"True happiness is sharing what we have within ourselves" this is so true because sometimes we don't have tangible things to give. Loving this talk. Loving Impact Theory
Radhanath Swami, a wonderful, wise and valuable human being, Tom Bilyeu, thanks for making this avilable to the public. You have a mission and you are moving forward with it.
Amazing person. I was touched by each of his answers. Living with integrity is ideal. Thank you.
Ivon cat lover yes, same here🙏
This interview is pure magic!! Thank you Tom 🐾❤️
Tom's shoe game is usually pretty tight, but this episode took things to a new level.
One of the best interviews that I've seen or heard in a long time. Tom this was amazing
I find it sweet how Tom is trying to understand spirituality. Surrender cannot be understood intellectually, there’s no action plan unfortunately. All comes through practicing letting go (that doesn’t mean not caring), meditating, spiritual practices. Mind unfortunately will not bring us there. I work in a high pressure corporate job, my mind has only brought stress and more pressure to me, until I eventually surrender about two years ago through continuous spiritual practice. My anxieties are gone and I really connected with my team. It’s a daily practice or letting go and reconnecting with myself. Especially in the meetings with my alpha male colleagues:-)
I'm speechless! Swamiji and Tom, thank you so much for uplifting me and impacting my life in all facets. Just amazing!!!
Thank you for this interview! He truly speaks to the soul and I could feel his wisdom! Many thanks again 💕
Very cool that Tom had someone on this channel that is talking about something beyond ego. I admire Tom’s persistence in learning. Bringing in the spiritual questions is a powerful addition.
Honestly had to pause and take notes during this episode. Keep up this amazing work!
He is my favorite among all the monks.
Thank you for bringing him to the show.
This resonated with me on such a deeper level.
He has such a profound knowledge.
Keep up the great work. 💛
And orchestrated the Murder of fellow Devotees!
Have you read Freedom From the Known
@@curtiswilliams6902 wat do u mean??
OMG I felt soooo CALM + centred just watching this - it was POWERFUL the vibe came through the screen !! Thank you so much Tom I would be lost without Impact Theory!!
I'm a little person.......
How great this person is hats off him
The look in your eyes at the end of this video says it all. Your journey is so powerful Tom🙏
i felt like i figured this out by 4th grade. its a gift, and a curse as well , those who know what i am saying know, humorously i always say duh.. to stuff like this, because we all have to be on the same page for progress, so untill everyone starts listening to what this man is saying, i'll just keep sipping my tea. we look at each other instead of the same direction...which this guy is saying should be the sun. lol
Tom, I just love you!!! You said, "Caves N Shit!" LMAO!!! SO GREAT
This cracked me up too !
You heard that and for that loved Tom, that's great. But did you really learn something from this legend personality's noble words???
Meditation is a great way to connect with your most intimate self and uncover the wisdom and intuition that everyone of us possess.
I thought you were supposed to connect to Krishna...
Self enquiry is the best way. And that's the same as connecting to Krishna, because he is your very own Self.
@@TEKutso actually soul is different supersoul, which is form of krishna is different. Both are in the heart
No one's gonna talk about how Mr Swami sat cross legged for a full 45 minutes....😵
He can probably go my h longer than that. Impressive indeed.
@@latinafortruth430 I wouldn't even last 10 minutes 😂😂
he is my spiritual master he sits in same position when giving a lecture of say 3-4 hours🌸 He is powerful❤️🙏
That's our usual way of sitting in India
That's Call Asana Siddhi
Common thing for YOGIS
Praise God for sending an enormous people around the world who have compassion in helping others as well.
Omg I’m so glad you had him on the show. So much wisdom emanates from him.
I loved, loved, LOVED his books, he’s a great narrator and I have so much love and respect for him 🙌❤️
Thank you Tom, your show is hands down the best one on RUclips!
"The nature of the spirit w/in us is pleasure. That pleasure is Love. We desire it so badly that we do harmful thing to ourselves to get it." .."While the real treasure is right w/in ourselves."
"Love is the most powerful motivating force."
Your guests and the way you compose your questions are incredible. Thank you.
If we didn't have tom's bold tone, this video would totally be the most enlightening asmr ever 😂
Watching Radhanath swami live can change your vibe ❤️ I actually have experienced when I see swami ji face to face I Forget everything Just by their simplicity compassion nature and Humilitt
Radhanath Swami is a beautiful spirit. Truly devout and compassionate. It was moving to hear and watch him on this show Impact Theory. Thank you Tom Bilyeu for introducing such a wonderful 'little' person with a GIGANTIC HEART to a wider audience. Just like the surfers' wave referred to at the end of the show, let us negotiate our own lives - like the surfer with her or his wave - and live it with love. Wishing love, Ty
This is crazy. We are going to watch Tom have a spiritual awakening on one of these podcasts. He is searching and really striving to understand. Maybe this one. I'm only halfway through.
What a beautiful soul. My god my heart is heavy with love. Thank you for interviewing this human and sharing with me. 💖
The atmosphere, the atmosphere this man just brought is in itself divine !!!
The purpose of life is a life of purpose. Everybody lives for themselves and people close to them but rarest are the people who live their lives for others. Radhnath Swami is one such rare soul. Great interview.
WoW! No words to describe the feeling after watching this episode ! I felt every vibe
Listening to this today, three years after it was recorded! So relevant. Amazing interview. Point after point that Radhanath Swami makes are so powerful. Also credit to Tom, great questions and interviewer. Need to listen to this a few more times to fully capture it. Peace and Love !
Love the spiritual side this show takes at times with such guests !! So beautiful this ep was, beyond words Thanks much TOM again!!!
I am so hook in Impact theory since I watched the episode of mel robbins and simon sinek but I think that was Inside quest then. Ready to watch this episode. Lets go
Showing my true self has confused many and myself for awhile. But I will love you all even when I don't like you.
Thanks Tom for inviting His Holiness. I would love to hear from him again. Simply amazing and so deeply enlightening
When I heard about the redwood trees I was blown away.
I never heard before like this. Thank you Radhanath Swami.
wow wow wow!! big big fan of Radanath Swami ❤️ just love his wisdom and analogy in everything he gives
Wonderful interview with this extremely elevated personality, Radhanatha Swami. Thank you for this, Tom.. Tom is one of the best interviewers, because he is a sincere seeker.
The contrast...an enlightened master and a goal oriented westerner. Fascinating.
Pranam swamiji and thank you Mr. Bilyeu for this excellent episode.I am from India .
One of the most amazing podcasts I’ve ever listened too 🙏🙏 life changing for me..it’s taken me 53 years to really and properly discover my true self and listen to my heart..I think I can now begin the process of harmonising the rest of my life through my heart..I will still need my brain but it’s taken too much precedence in my life and it hasn’t always led to true happiness..my life will be heart-led from now on..thank you Swamiji 🙏🙏🙏
woww. i have watched hundreds of talk shows and speech ,etc but this is is so simple and clear, and the guru is giving all his experience openly unlike so many others who just revolve around the core and not actually tell us what we need to do. thank you
Love to hear such long conversations with introspective saints! Thanks to Swamiji for sharing wisdom with everyone. 🙏
"Th living force w/in us has a mind & a body,.. We often liv as if our life force IS a body & a mind." Luv that.
One of the best episodes of Impact Theory so far!! BRAVO & THANK YOU!
Man. There are some guests on this show that are truly different from the others. Like Tom said, at times I, too, was confused with what Radhanath was saying.
I also feel that being open to new ideas and states of mind like this one is extremely important. It leads to a whole new perspective of life.
I love when you bring on spiritual thought leaders!! ♥️♥️♥️
Empathy is logical connection , compassion is heart felt connection . I love the story of the Redwoods , to me , empathy is like the trees in the sky , experiencing the same winds and rains , but compassion is that root connection -- thank you for explaining so beautifully .
I’m super lucky by watching this episodes fully at the last days of my 25 years old
"One can't change the waves only adjust the sails". Great content from start to end. Thank you.
The eyes of Tom in the end seem like he's touched some part of his true-self which he may have never thought would happen in this interview. It's really wonderful to see.
I totally agree with him☺
But there is something I would like to say🤔
I know that sharing is happiness, but before sharing we must have something to share,before helping others we should help ourselves. That's why we need to work on ourselves so that we could help those people we love 😍
How beautiful!!!!,! I’m in tears. My question is is earth purgatory where we need to purge ourselves the false harmful self ? Love and enlightenment are our answers. Praise God! Thank you !
Radhanath Swami has a whole youtube channel of wisdom so instead of giving Tom credit for the other guys wisdom go check out Swamis youtube channel because he’s the one who deserves the credit. He’s helped more people than any famous person, he’s the definition of a good person full of wisdom and love.
Dear Tom, you’re the best, I feel so calm and peaceful , wow what a pos vibration !! This interview is so powerful!! God bless you all ❤️🙏!!
The next 45 mins of my life are going to be awesome! Excited for the video! Tom always has gold packed content and he has been a huge inspiration for my RUclips channel...gotta one of his speeches coming this week!
You really really need Christ in your deluded life. Just saying. This man has no idea what truth is.
