Sadhguru

Consciousness is a quantum leap from the physical to the non-physical dimension.

A human being need not be useful. If he or she blossoms into a full-fledged human being, that is good enough.

Love is not a relationship. Love is a certain sweetness of emotions.

How you are should never be determined by how someone else is. If you allow that, you will be a slave to that someone.

The purpose of human activity is to transact, touch, and transform.

The intellect is a reasonably sharp knife. If you do not know how to hold it, you keep cutting yourself.

If you make yourself in such a way no one can help loving you, that’s a good way to be.

Passion can choose. Compassion cannot choose – it includes everyone and everything.

Every basic act like eating and copulating becomes magical when you do it consciously.

In yoga, you never chase an experience – you only prepare for it.

It is not your qualifications but your exposure in life that makes you who you are.

Life is fluid, ever evolving. The more dynamic you are, the more happens in your life, all the time.

To simply sit here and know the tenderness of being alive means being drenched in love.

The physical is only a small aspect of existence. In this cosmos, not even 1% is physical – the rest is non-physical.

Pleasure is just a shadow of joy. When there is no joy in you, you become a pleasure seeker.

Whether it is your work, your love, or your life – unless you throw your entire self into it, you will never know what it is.

Life and death are like inhalation and exhalation. They always exist together.

With yoga, not only your body should become flexible – your mind and emotions, and above all your consciousness should become flexible.

Negative energies can’t touch you if you are in a state of meditativeness.

For the sort of potential that a human being carries, it is a very brief life.

Looking at everything through your phone is only numbing your perception – it does not really enhance your experience of life in any way.

Everything that can be created has already been done in creation. As human beings, we can only imitate, not create as such.

What is the meaning of life? It is too great a phenomenon to fit into any meaning.

If you want to be successful, don’t seek success – seek competence, empowerment; do nothing short of the best that you can do.

It would be wonderful if this world was guided by little children, because they are closer to life than anyone else.

I barely belong to this world, but still I’m participating.

If you try to live that which is past, that which IS will bypass you.

If you do a yoga that does not change the patterns of energy within you, I would say, don’t waste your time on it.

Modern science has its value in terms of utility, but it cannot open up existence to human experience.

The moment you function in the world without being concerned about what is happening to life around you, you are a Criminal.
