“Most humans believe that love is something you get, that it is an emotion, that it has to be deserved, and that the more they give away, the less they will have. The opposite is the truth. Lovingness is an attitude that transforms one’s experience of the world. We become grateful for what we have instead of being prideful. We express our lovingness when we acknowledge others and their contributions to life and to our conveniences. Love is not an emotion, but a way of being and relating to the world.” – David Hawkins
“When a human being is feeling joyful, when he is feeling very pleasant within himself, he is naturally nice to everyone around him.” – Sadhguru
“One who is concerned about the possibility of his own suffering can never know true love and compassion. Only when you are no longer concerned about yourself can you truly love.” – Sadhguru
“True compassion is not about giving or taking. True compassion is just doing what is needed.” – Sadhguru
“Beliefs are the determinant of what one experiences. There are no ‘external causes.’ One discovers the secret payoffs that are obtained from unconscious secret projections.” – David Hawkins
“Love is a process of inclusion. Once I include you as a part of me, I will be to you just the way I am to myself.” – Sadhguru
“When you came into this world, you came without a single investment. So whatever happened with your life, anyway you are in profit.” – Sadhguru
“It is helpful to remember that value and attraction are in the eye of the beholder and are not qualities of the world itself. What is imagined to be “out there” stems from “in here.” The same applies to cherished positionalities and seductive presumptions. There are no temptations “out there,” and their attraction diminishes by simple refusal and renunciation.” – David Hawkins
“What is generally considered as failure deepens your experience of life far more than what you consider as success.” – Sadhguru
“Love has nothing to do with someone else. It is all about you. It is a way of being. It essentially means you have brought sweetness into your emotion.” – Sadghuru
“Life is a circus when your intellect and your body alone are involved. Life is a dance, when the intelligence begins to play its role.” – Sadghuru
“Ambition is essentially a longing within a human being to somehow have a little larger slice of life.” – Sadhguru
“If you look back at your life and see, the most beautiful moments in life are moments when you are expressing your joy, not when you are seeking it.” – Sadhguru
“It is time that we realize that looking to God will not help until we look at our own foolishness. If you sincerely look at your deepest motivation for religion, you will see you have never aspired for the Divine. Please understand this.” – Sadhguru
“If the source of happiness is acquired through ego mechanisms, it is based on imagery, belief systems, and projected values rather than on Absolute Reality itself, which is invulnerable to loss. Objects, qualities, or relationships become overvalued by virtue of the mechanism of attachment and the ensuing projection of value.” – David Hawkins
“Attachments are illusions. They can be surrendered out of one’s love for God, which inspires the willingness to let go of that which is comfortably familiar.” – David Hawkins
“From a developmental analysis, which utilizes consciousness-research techniques, it appears that the human ego itself is primarily the product and continuation of the presence of the survival core of the animal evolution.” – David Hawkins
“To accept the inner core of one’s existence as a self-existent reality requires letting go of any definitions of oneself as a “who,” and instead see oneself as a ‘what.'” – David Hawkins
“Thinking too much of yourself and all the fancy ideas that you have about yourself is pride. When you’re not in touch with reality, that’s pride.” – Sadhguru
“A thought doesn’t take you anywhere. A thought just makes suggestions, taking it or not taking is up to you. Thoughts are not yours; they are the social impact or an input. So they are like suggestions coming up, whether you take them on, or just ignore them, the choice is still yours, isn’t it?” – Sadhguru
