“If you have the choice of creating an inner situation the way you want it, obviously you’ll make sure that you’re joyful and peaceful. Isn’t it so?” – Sadhguru

“If one forgets that whatever we are doing—whether we are doing business or politics or whatever—all this is being done fundamentally for human well-being, all the commerce in the world is fundamentally for human well-being.” – Sadhguru

“I do not dream; I live. I just live totally.” – Sadhguru

“When I say intelligence, I’m talking about the intelligence that is the very basis and means of existence, including your aliveness right now. We want this intelligence to function on a higher scale. In a way, enlightenment means just that. The fundamental intelligence, which is the basis of life, is in full flow with you. That’s enlightenment.” – Sadhguru

“You must cultivate awareness in the most difficult of circumstances. If somebody abuses you, to abuse him back doesn’t require any awareness. But to remain quiet, you need enormous awareness.” – Sadhguru

“I would say that you must be a mother to the world if you want to run a business joyfully, benefiting you and everybody. If you are manufacturing something and this is going to serve somebody whom you love very much, what kind of product would you give? In the long run, people will buy only that which is reliable. Only that comes from a caring attitude. You must treat your customer as your own child—as your only child. Then things will always work.” – Sadhguru

“Turmeric not only works on the physiology but also has a big impact on the energy system. It purifies the blood, body, and energy system.” – Sadhguru

“It does not matter what happens as long as, at the end of the day, you can look back on your stupidity and laugh at yourself—not at others.” – Sadhguru

“If you allow life to live, life is always exuberant. Just see everywhere—whether it is a plant, an animal, a worm, or whatever—just see with how much intensity life is going on in the world.” – Sadhguru

“Trying to fix health from outside is a very effortful process. If you keep access to the innermost core, health will be a natural phenomenon.” – Sadhguru

“Yoga will bring you strength and flexibility.” – Sadhguru

“The people who make decisions for everybody should be in good condition because their decisions affect many. I want to see them more joyful because joyful people are more generous, sensible, flexible, and always more life-oriented. It is very important that they are more peaceful and joyful from within and not because of the quarterly balance sheet.” – Sadhguru

“Spirituality is about living here in an all-inclusive way, experiencing everything as a part of you. One basic aspect of the spiritual process is that it makes one an all-inclusive human being. At the same time, it will hugely equip the individual to be more efficient, capable, balanced, and productive. This is good for business. This is good for the world.” – Sadhguru

“How you are growing, how happy people are working for you, and how happy people are who are being serviced by you are important things for the health of the corporation. Without that, a corporation cannot be healthy. I think that’s what everybody should be concerned about. Profitability will happen anyway.” – Sadhguru

“Both in your workplace and in your family, if you build that kind of relationship of trust and love in both places, then when you need to make adjustments, like when you need to go to work, the family will adjust. When you can go a little lighter at work and pay more attention to the family, the work will adjust. You have to create that kind of situation and that kind of relationship on both ends.” – Sadhguru

“Being a manager means that we are going to create whatever we see as the most beautiful thing to happen right now. Allowing situations to create you is not management at all. Creating the situations that you want is management.” – Sadhguru
