This book was something I didn't know I needed. I loved it, and you should give it a try. I'd advise you to enter this one with open-mindedness; it can be belief-shattering.
One of the parts called 'Everyday Flowers' was not exactly new to me. If you have watched some videos of Sadhguru before, it's going to be like going through the written version. The remaining two parts namely 'Flowers on the Path' and 'Flowers of the Beyond' was what did it for me. It was enlightening, it was liberating. In fact, there are some chapters that need to be read everyday as reminders—they're that good
I can't wait to read other books by him. It helped me go through a phase with ease and I'll forever be grateful for that!

6th book of 2022 (200 Books read overall)
Quote from the Book I Liked - 'Joyfully confused is the root of all seeking.' (Page no. 51)
Rating - 4 Stars
*Important take from the book* - People who have never been on fire will not know the coolness of water.
People who are always resting in their life must be experts about rest, isn't it? But that is not the truth. Only a man who works intensely can know what rest is. (Page 35, 37)
Plot Summary - The Flowers on the Path series is a bouquet. It comprises articles created by Sadhguru for the Speaking Tree column of the Times of India. These articles have, for many years, brought daily infusions of beauty, humour, clarity and wisdom into lives abraded by mayhem and monotony.
My Review - It is a small segmented chapter-wise book like many of Sadhguru's books that can be read randomly. Though the chapters are short and can be read in deeply in his dedicated books. Short doesn't mean incomplete here, these chapters contain the wisdom and depth to evoke certain thinking in the reader that simply can change the whole perspective towards things. Ranging from Spirituality to Business to a broad spectrum of topics, this book can be read by anyone who wants to give a greater and different view of life. Good starter and light read who doesn't yet want to go into in-depth books like - Karma, Death and others.
Conclusion - Short chapters yet profound and perspective-changing.

Spirituality is an elusive and important subject which needs to be incorporated in the syllabus for living a fulfilling life. It is this subject which has been broached here, in the Flowers on the Path by Sadhguru.
The book is a bunch of articles by Sadhguru which provides insight into the realm of spirituality. The entire spiritual journey is being mapped out in terms of floral imagery. A human mind is compared to the flower while its stem is being considered similar to the spine. With a simple writing style, the author initiates a conversation with how we need spirituality in our quotidian lives. He directs towards the need for good parenting, of peace in our world regardless of conflicts, of the impact of rising intolerance, etc. He moves on to talk emphatically about the Yoga. Yogasana is deemed to be an ideal way of cleansing your soul. And the author charts a path for us to do it. Towards the end, we come to believe that what lies within is supreme and that we are our own masters.
The book is crisp and concise. Each chapter is short and precise enough to make its point. I liked how the author outs his point forward by not indulging into verbose prose. Rather he uses simple words, simple examples to make the indelible mark on his readers. Though the book is good for beginners, I didn't find it exceptionally well for seasoned readers.

A friend furnished me with this book, out of the way and thought I deserved to read this!
Indeed, I did...it's not preaching, it's just knowing the best of your conscious self, it has changed my perspective on certain things in life...Thanks to the power that this book imparts, the energy that it vibrates in you!

Sadhguru’s books are always enlightening and carries something which stays with you for life and becomes useful in keeping you calm in tough times. Recently, I read his latest release named “Flowers on the Path” which is a short book of just 170 pages. The book is more on general stuffs than being out and out a spiritual book. This one is quite different than what I have read till now by the modern world guru. The book is written in three different segments- Everyday Flowers, Flowers on the Path and Flowers of the Beyond.
As in Sadhguru’s own profound style, he calmly explains us how we have made our daily lifestyle troublesome due to the small races we become a part of. How people are confused among themselves and keep on establishing small happiness’s out of someone else’ loss is what Sadhguru tries to focus upon. Sadhguru talks about the importance of health, aligning the energies, being secular and sacred, how to keep children afresh and energized and free of any biases, the importance of women in society etc.
Later on, in the book, Sadhguru starts establishing the spiritual logic gradually in the minds of his readers. He starts mentioning the importance of Yoga, sitting at one place silently, the power of concentration, the role of a Guru in your life, the Genuity of prayer, how human has accumulated everything from this Earth and how we are nothing except the soul within us etc.
Sadhguru’s style of writing helps the reader to understand the concepts and logic at their own pace. Every chapter is not of more than 3-4 pages. He doesn’t use touch vocabulary to sound very intellectual or philosophical but keeps things simple. This is his specialty which has also made his videos and blogs popular. He starts any book describing the small acts we keep ourselves engaged in and then leaves a small conceptual benefit of yoga and meditation and ends the book there for you to think about yourself and life thereafter and think about being in peace rather than messing up your mind with unwanted stuffs. I give Flowers on the Path 3.25 stars out of 5 as it is just a normal book with not that much of an insight which can bring extreme changes in your life. But it shall surely sow the seeds of spirituality somewhere in the way you think.
Thanks.

Otherwise all you are trying to do is survive. Even if you are calling for God, it is only a call for survival, isn’t it? When you fail to survive here, you start thinking about making it in heaven. If you could not make it here, what is the guarantee that you will make it there? Basavanna, a celebrated sage and a great poet from Karnataka, said, “Illi salladavaru alliyu sallaraiya,” which means, “Those who do not make it here will not make it there either.” So, this is not about going beyond emotion. You must go beyond, but “beyond” does not mean beyond emotion or mind or this or that. You must go beyond the limitation which is holding you right now. Emotion and thought can also become a method and a tool to pave the way for you.
If you use your mind to transcend your limitations, we call this gnana yoga. If you use your emotion to transcend limitations, we call this bhakti yoga. If you use your body to transcend limitations, we call this karma yoga. If you use your energies to transcend limitations, we call this kriya yoga. Every one of them is a gateway. A gateway can either block you, or let you beyond. So, your emotions are not to be shunned and rejected to go beyond. You cannot shun them. If you try to become devoid of emotion, you will have suppressed emotions, and you will become dry. Your emotion needs to be accepted in a very deep way so that it becomes your friend. A friend is someone who is pleasant to you.

"Whatever you accumulate can be yours, but it can never be you."
There are so many concepts in this book that need contemplating by humans living a fast life.
I recommend this book to anyone who wants to or is ready to take up a spiritual journey.

A nice one. But yet the best would be Inner Engineering if you are not that into things and just wants to understand his narrative of us.

Inspiring and transforming verses from Sadhguru...
Every being has been given the necessary intelligence to fulfil his life... An ant if born... it has all the intelligence it needs live an ant's life fully... The same goes for every creature. You too have the necessary intelligence to live your life to the fullest...
The most beautiful things will happen when your actions spring from your intelligence and not from your anger.
So how you respond depends on what means you have.. All of us cannot respond in the same way to any given situation. It depends on what means we have in our hands at that moment.
An authentic spiritual process isnt based on control. It's fluid, open ended, open to debate.
Constitutions, scriptures, or words of God have brought peace and mayhem, spread love and spilled blood, but above all have turned custodians of these documents into the ultimate authority. The outcome, authority becomes truth rather than truth becoming the authority.
It takes tremendous maturity to simply sit quietly only doing things to the extend that is needed. This doesn't come because you are lazy or irresponsible, it comes because you are aware and conscious.
The complexities that one encounters on the spiritual path are not because of the path. The complexities are only there because of the mess that is in your mind.
So your sadhana is not about getting somewhere. It is just a way, a method, to unleash a flood so enormous that it wipes away your petty creations and leaves you as the creator intended you to be.
Yoga is about "i am willing to change myself." This is not about you wanting to change the world.
Intellect is a wonderful instrument for survival, at the same time a terrible barrier for you to experience the oneness of life. Only if you know to what extent your logic should go and wehre it should not go, your life will be beautiful.
God is not somewhere, He is here and now. It is you who are not.
Let your humanity overflow and the divine will happen... Creation is the only way, the only doorway to the creator. If you reject the creation, you can't know anything about the creator.
When a man has reached a state within himself where his actions are only to the extent required for outer life situations, then he is a complete person.

I have a habit of picking up books from the airport stores for some in flight reading and this was one of it. Sadhguru always brings a very interesting mix of practicality and spirituality, be it his talks or writings. Flowers on the Path is a collection of some thought provoking articles which address a variety of issues, ranging from day-to-day struggles of living, health and of course, mental health and spirituality.
There are some very practical lines in the book which ring true, some which we know from our day-to-day experiences as well. Some of which I could resonate with the most were:"When acceptance is total, there is no more opposition", "The closer the relationship is, the more effort you should make to understand them", "Right now, why you think in terms of right and wrong is simply because of the social moral code".
Do pick up this book for some light reading, bedtime reading, whatever suits you. You won't be disappointed!

This book will feel like Sadhguru is talking directly to us just like in his videos. The chapters are very short but they do pack a punch when it presents the topics in there.
Sadhguru's way of explaining seems a bit complex at first but when you give about a minute or two to process that information it will just feel like so simple yet profound. You will be like .. what!! It's soo true and logical.
I am always spell bound when I hear Sadhguru and the way he presents different topics and explains them making it relatable yet eye opening to the current generation of people.
I can revisit his talks or books at any point in my life and it will only enhance my perception of life, people and myself and also help me grow more. That is the impact of Sadhguru. Pranamam.

This book is a complete outline to know what is actual path to spirituality. It uncovers all the misconceptions of the common people out there.
Sadhguru, in this book reveals the obscured meaning of Yoga. Yoga is not about twisting yourself into some impossible postures but Yoga means to be in a perfect tune and exist in harmony.
In the first half, the book talks about the outer world. This book confuses you with your perceptions and conclusions.
Next half talks about the flowers on the path of spirituality. This book makes you know the reality of world and how spirituality helps to live life in harmony.
It can be a good start to begin your spiritual journey!

This book is excellent for the seekers of truth. Small articles on spiritual wisdom are really helpful. I couldn’t think of any other book to start my year with. Finished it in one seat. This books teaches you the ability to delve to the root and look at life in all its totality wheather if it’s related to social issues, worldly affairs , individual challenges or anything else. The most important thing which I like about this book is it's cover page. Absolutely gorgeous. I bought this book from bookchor.com for Rs.59 and it is worth it.😊🙏💫

Flowers on the Path is a book compiling short articles that help you connect and be interested in spirituality. Written in a lucid manner, the basics of different concepts of spirituality are well explained in the short articles by sadguru. A light read with nothing super intense or horrifying, but if you are interested in eastern philosophy and are just a beginner you can learn a lot of concept from this one☺️

One more feather in Sadhgurus crown. It’s a complicated book but still very well explained. There were paragraphs where I had to red it twice but when you read with conscious mind it makes sense. The best way to read this book is early morning in fresh mind ne air… I tried to gain as much possible from this book but looks like a life time is less to master this book. Will read it again sometime for sure.
November 27, 2018
The book actually makes one to think spiritually and because it is short story it is easier to remember and ponder about it. I like the writing style and its indeed a book that makes one to think in a very deep manner.

Sadhguru never failed to amuse the audience.
He is one of a kind.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book .The book includes infusions of beauty, humor, clarity, and wisdom into lives abraded by the monotony.
Happy Reading :)

A collection of columns, and - because of how columnists sometimes have to shit out something the night before deadline no matter how bad it is not to lose their job - most chapters contains nothing worth reading at all. A few chapters are quite descend though.

Good for beginners
Good content with small chapters. Good reminder on some things that might have forgotten. Good beginner book but after reading Death and Mystic’s musings this one feels little less intense. But definitely good reminder. Thank you

I'm sure this book would be amazing in its original translation, but the grammar, words used, and depictions were nearly impossible for me to follow or unravel what was actually trying to be said. I love Sadhguru. That said, I found this English version beyond difficult to understand.

Very Concise and clear message 'Sprituality' is your own business.
I don't know why but this book title never attracted me but I wanted to read something new and surprisingly it turned out to be one of the great books. Must to have. I must say
