Sadhguru

You cannot control what the world throws at you. But what you make out of it is one hundred percent yours. Sri Rama is an epitome of this.

Once you go beyond the compulsive, cyclical nature of existence, life becomes spectacular.

To be miserable is a horrible crime against yourself and against humanity. You only spread who you are.

We need to look at water and soil, particularly rivers and forests, as national treasures, not as something that everyone can exploit whichever way they want.

If you spend time in the forest, you will realize that you are just one more life. It's a huge spiritual step to feel for life around you the way you feel about yourself.

Doing sadhana means trying to become an invitation to the Divine.

If you are really looking for truth, don’t assume anything – just seek.

God is the Creator, not a manager. Humans have the privilege of managing their own lives.

Yoga is the technology of upgrading, activating, and refining your inner energies for the highest possibilities.

If human beings did not exist, the planet would flourish. The question is not how useful we are but how beautifully we live.

Liberation is not my Idea; it is the fundamental longing in every form of life.

All creatures are an expression of the Creator. If you are willing, every creature is a doorway to the Creator.

If you are constantly aware of your mortal nature, you will only do what truly matters to you.

Karma means both action and memory. There is no memory without action and no action without memory.

If you operate out of the straitjacket of logic, you remain a clown in the circus of life.

We must evolve society for women to play a rightful role – not through quotas or reservation but through education and empowerment.

The physical body has its own memory. Intimacy without commitment leads to disorganization of the human being, and in turn to disorganization of society.

The basis of yoga is this: to be absolutely intense and relaxed at the same time.

Whatever you do, you can either do it willingly or unwillingly. If you do it willingly, it will be heaven. If you do it unwillingly, it will be hell.

We are all born enlightened, but we have chosen to be ignorant.

The essence of life is exuberance. That's what the Holi celebrations are about. Time to maximize your aliveness!

What fragrance is to a flower, love is to a human being.

My work is not with Hindus, Muslims, Christians, or anyone else. My work is with human beings, wherever they are.

Whether you experience stress, anger, fear, or any other kind of negativity, there is only one basic cause – being ignorant of your inner Nature.

It is not how much you do – how you do it is what makes life beautiful.

In the vastness of the cosmos, everything is going perfect, but one nasty little thought in your mind can make it a bad day. That is lack of perspective.

The very way you breathe, sit, stand, eat, walk, work – everything can become yoga. You can use any process of life to transcend your limitations.

Confusion is better than stupid conclusions. In confusion, there is still a possibility. In stupid conclusion, there is no possibility.

Light comes and goes. Darkness is always – it is the basis of existence.

Most of your desires are not really about yourself. You just picked them up from your social surroundings.
