Sadhguru
“Yoga is a journey toward a reality in which you experience the ultimate nature of existence as borderless unity.”
Sadhguru, Inner Engineering: A Yogi's Guide to Joy

Sadhguru
“The choice is always before you: to respond consciously to the present; or to react compulsively to it. There is a vast difference between the two. And it can make the world of a difference.”
Sadhguru, Inner Engineering: A Yogi's Guide to Joy

Sadhguru
“Universality is not an idea; it is an existential truth. It is individuality that is an idea. Yoga is simply chitta vritti nirodha. That means, if the activity of your mind ceases and you are still alert, you are in yoga.”
Sadhguru, Inner Engineering: A Yogi's Guide to Joy

Sadhguru
“The problem of our times, however, is that the intellect has taken on a disproportionately important role. Modern education has encouraged a completely lopsided development of this aspect of the mind. The essence of the intellect is to divide. So humanity has embarked on a journey of wholesale division, discrimination, and dissection. We have split everything. Even the invisible atom has been split. Once you unleash the intellect, it splits everything it encounters; it does not allow you to be with anything totally. Although it is a wonderful instrument for survival, it is also at the same time a terrible barrier that stands between you and your experience of the oneness of life.”
Sadhguru, Inner Engineering: A Yogi's Guide to Joy

Sadhguru
“Once your intellect—or buddhi, as it is termed in the yogic taxonomy—gets identified with something, you function within the realm of this identity. Whatever you are identified with, all your thoughts and emotions spring from that identity.”
Sadhguru, Inner Engineering: A Yogi's Guide to Joy
