“You can lead people only when people are inspired to do what you want them to do. They get so inspired that they are going to do more than you ever even thought of doing.

“As long as you’re identified as a physical body, as long as your experience of life is limited to your physical and mental faculties, fear and insecurity are inevitable… Only when a person begins to experience himself beyond the limitations of his physical body and mind, then this person can become free from insecurity and fear.” – Sadhguru

You need not be a super human being capable of doing everything. If you don’t do what you’re capable of doing, that’s when it’s not okay; that’s when you have failed. So don’t worry about always pulling off deals, deals, and more deals. Just learn to offer yourself, which is the best possible thing that you can offer to the whole situation. – Sadhguru
You may not have touched the highest peak, but whatever peak you may have touched, even at that peak if you lived, you would be free from so many things that bother you on a daily basis. – Sadhguru
If your mind and your body and your energies could take instructions from you and behave the way you want them to behave, would you make yourself stressful? No, you would not choose to be stressful.

When you are meditative, the reaction aspect of you is taken off. There is no reaction in you. No matter what kind of situation you’re placed in, you are not reactive to it. You are only responding to it. – Sadhguru
