If you have to inspire people to do what is required out of them, you must be that kind of an example. The very way you exist can be that kind of an example, so that people naturally stand up and want to do things that are necessary to be done. – Sadhguru
“If you bring the physical body, the mental body, and the energy body into proper alignment and balance, you will not have any physical or psychological ailments.” – Sadhguru
In terms of seeking there is really nothing more, in terms of experiencing and knowing there is nothing more, but in terms of living there could be something more. – Sadhguru
“Only in those moments of love, can a man and woman really be together. Once that is not there, it is very difficult.” – Sadhguru
One of my favorite definitions of enlightenment comes from a Jesuit priest named Anthony de Mello, who passed away some years ago. Someone asked him to define his experience of enlightenment. He said, ‘Enlightenment is absolute cooperation with the inevitable.’ I love that, because it defines enlightenment not just as a realization, but as an activity. Enlightenment is when everything within us is in cooperation with the flow of life itself, with the inevitable. – Adyashanti
The most powerful teaching is not what you say or do to them, but your state of consciousness at home. That’s the very foundation for teaching your children. It has nothing to do with teaching; the foundation for transmitting consciousness is not even wanting to transmit consciousness to them, but to hold the space of presence as you interact with them at home. – Eckhart Tolle
One’s underlying programs can be discovered by simply writing down one’s litany of grievances and woes and then merely turning them around into their opposites. – David Hawkins
“The very basis of your spiritual longing is just this, you want to experience everything as yourself.” – Sadhguru
“Instead of resisting the people around you as if they’re the problem, just include them as a part of yourself.” – Sadhguru
“Absence of fear naturally leads to a blissful existence.” – Sadhguru
“The ego/mind presumes and is convinced that its perceptions and interpretations of life experiences are the ‘real’ thing and therefore ‘true.’ It also believes by projection that other people see, think, and feel the same way—if they do not, they are mistaken and therefore wrong. Thus, perception reinforces its hold by reification and presumptions.” – David Hawkins
“How great and how recognized you will be in society depends on your capabilities.” – Sadhguru
“We always think we must set up a role model. If you set up a role model, that’s a desperate effort to be something other than who you are. In this effort, this natural quality of being is completely lost in a human being.” – Sadhguru
“Strong intention plus dedication assisted by inspiration can surprisingly bring success despite prior failures. This reveals the inner capacity for bravery and fortitude that greatly increases self-esteem and confidence. Many of life’s travails can only be traversed by ‘white-knuckling it,’ which builds self-confidence.” – David Hawkins
“When you get attached to the whole Existence, you are in yoga.” – Sadhguru
“If you look at all the activity that you are doing in your life; all the activity that every human being is pursuing in his life, actually everything is being done in pursuit of happiness.” – Sadhguru
“Affluence has not brought misery. The money did not stay in your pocket; it got into your head. Only then misery came to you. Having lots of money in your pocket is good. But if it enters your head, it becomes misery, because that is not its place.” – Sadhguru
“It is my wish and my blessing that you will manage your businesses in a much better way than the previous generations of people have done.” – Sadhguru
“Spiritual progress is possible because the mind, through understanding, is able to recontextualize the contents of the ego and discern its very mechanism. Once this occurs, one is no longer blindly ‘at the mercy’ of the ego.” – David Hawkins
“If you make yourself into a conscious leader, it is better because you will function sensibly. If you are just a charismatic leader, the charisma can be very intoxicating, both for you and others. And you can lead them to a disaster.” – Sadhguru
