“Thinking is a processing device with great pragmatic value; however, it presumes that it knows the data, but it actually has no innate capacity to know. Belief manufactures an imaginary inner ‘knower’ that becomes the ‘me.’ Likewise, it manufactures an imaginary doer of deeds, an actor of acts, and an imaginary thinker of thoughts.” – David Hawkins
“If you build the right kind of people, those people will in turn build the right kind of company, because no matter what corporation you talk about, what type of human beings are in key places in that corporation decide how far the corporation goes, isn’t it? So, if you are concerned about your profitability on a long term, you must be concerned about the people whom you are working with, those who are working for you, and those whom you service.” – Sadhguru
“Although the human mind likes to believe that it is ‘of course’ dedicated to truth, in reality, what it really seeks is confirmation of what it already believes. The ego is innately prideful and does not welcome the revelation that much of its beliefs are merely perceptual illusions.” – David Hawkins
“So right through the whole process of being together, working together. If you involve everybody, they need not know that they are making the decision but if you make all of them responsible for the decision, you must share the success with them. Then when something goes wrong, naturally they share that with you too. And they know a bad decision has been made, we have to correct it, and that’s all there is.” – Sadhguru
“The primary defect now is, as it always has been, that the design of the human mind renders it intrinsically incapable of being able to tell truth from falsehood. This single, most crucial of all inherited defects lies at the root of all human distress and calamity.” – David Hawkins
“You are not a superhuman being that you can handle every situation that [comes], there are some things you don’t know how to handle and it’s perfectly fine. It’s not necessary you should be able to handle everything. It is just that you must [be] able to function to your full potential.”- Sadhguru
“If the goal of life is to do the very best one can do at each unfolding moment of existence, then, through spiritual work, one has already escaped the primary cause of suffering. In the stop-frame of the radical present, there is no life story to react or edit. With this one-pointedness of mind, it soon becomes obvious that everything merely ‘is as it is,’ without comment or adjectives.” – David Hawkins
“If human beings are very spirited towards their life, they will somehow find a solution for everything, but from outside, if you try to find solutions when human beings do not have the necessary spirit to put it into action or to make it a reality, it doesn’t matter how much effort we put in, it will go to waste.” – Sadhguru
“So, you have to instill that confidence in people that they can speak, it’s not wrong to speak about anything that you are doing, or somebody else is doing, how it could be done better. So, if that level of openness is created, bringing discipline will not be an external issue. It is something that everybody is striving for.” – Sadhguru
“Creativity need not necessarily mean that you invented something fantastic. Just the way you sweep the floor—somebody’s creative about how they sweep the floor; somebody else is just doing it as a mundane job. With every simple thing you can be creative, if you observe everything that’s happening within you and outside of you.” – David Hawkins
“All thinking, from a spiritual viewpoint, is merely vanity, illusion, and pomposity. The less one thinks, the more delightful life becomes. Thinkingness eventually becomes replaced by knowingness. That one ‘is’ does not really need any thought at all. It is helpful, therefore, to make a decision to stop mental conversation and useless babbling.” – Sadhguru
“Like the body, the mind is not one’s real self, and like the body, it is basically impersonal. It has thoughts, but these thoughts are not a product of the self. Even if a person does not want a mind, they have one anyway. There is no choice in the matter; the mind is imposed and thrust upon one unasked. The fact that having a mind is an involuntary imposition helps with the realization that it is not a personal choice or decision.” – David Hawkins
“The ego’s survival relies on the defeat of truth because it is dependent on allegiance to falsity. For one thing, spiritual truth challenges the ego’s presumption that is sovereign.” – David Hawkins
“Experientially, one can only state that thoughts, feelings, images, and memories come into one’s awareness in an endless progression. And it is this endless progression that we’ve come to call ‘mind.'” – David Hawkins
“So, a leader is not only on top of the group; he must be on top of the world within himself, if he doesn’t do something about himself, what he does with other people is going to be accidental, and any moment the whole thing can collapse on his head.” – Sadhguru
“The ego is not the actual reality or source of life or existence, and is therefore vulnerable to dissolution. It is primordial but not essentially sovereign. It is dominant only until its illusory quality is recognized.” – David Hawkins
“Any method that you employ to enhance the presence of the non-physical—that which is the source of creation—within you, is yoga.” – Sadhguru
“People at the bottom cannot bring about that change. From the top there needs to be certain sense of ease, togetherness, and trust where people can say what they want to each other. People can go and say what they want to say, or express themselves, or they can ask for a change of work if they have to without feeling insecure.” – Sadhguru
“The body itself is actually not experienced; instead, only the sensations of the body are experienced. Therefore, awareness of the body is merely a composite sensation by which the somatic area of the brain records input, and by neuronal function, replicates the body image.” – David Hawkins
“Being human means being able to transcend the so-called laws of nature and make something happen that is larger than us.” – Sadhguru
