Sadhguru

Mediocre people always think they are practical. But actually, they don’t have the courage to attempt anything else.

If you want transformation, the largest part has to happen in the body, because the body carries much more memory than the mind.

Emotions and thoughts are not separate entities. The way you think is the way you feel.

Science should have been a quest to know, not to exploit creation.

Passion is like gasoline in the tank, but you also need a steering wheel to go where you want to go.

People are lazy because they do not know how to rest. If you are restful, you are ready for activity.

Life is happening in unison with the whole existence. Only your personality is happening in exclusion.

Only when you do not know yourself, the opinion of other people becomes important.

Out of commitment, humans can move mountains. One shining example is Mahatma Gandhi, whose commitment moved millions of people.

Instead of wasting your energy on that which cannot be changed, you need to focus on that which can be created.

It is time for humanity to stop and see if what we are doing is truly creating wellbeing or not.

When your love, joy, and peace depend on someone else, there is no way you can be loving, joyful, and peaceful all the time.

Whatever kind of situation you may cause, let yourself experience what happens to everyone who becomes part of it.

Life is neither a gift nor a punishment. It is just a phenomenon that you need to learn to ride.

The more security you seek, the more insecure you become.

The intellect is like a knife – the sharper, the better. As long as you know how to handle it.

The spine of knowledge that the Adiyogi created is the source of almost everything you can call spiritual on the planet.

I want the world to know that the originator of yoga is the Adiyogi, Shiva himself.

My dream is to consecrate the whole world. No human being should live in uncared and energetically poor spaces.

Peace is the core of existence. If humans touch this core by turning inward, Peace shall prevail.

No one can achieve wellbeing through someone else’s suffering.

If you want joy, you have to turn inward, because that is where it is generated.

Yoga does not mean just standing on your head or holding your breath. It means taking charge of your life.

Leadership means partnership, cooperation, mentoring, and support. It does not mean dominance. Dominance is tyranny.

I don’t believe anything that anyone says. I look at them the way they are.

Living in resentment is as violent as planting a bomb. The difference is just that the violence happens within you.

Don’t try to enhance your capabilities. Enhance yourself – then you will naturally have enhanced capabilities.

Spiritual process is not a backward step. It is a leap forward to a place that others are yet to get to.

Learning per se is always liberating. What is frustrating is when it is imposed.

Your experience of life does not depend on who or what is around you but on how you are.
