Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev

 

“What is possible or not possible is not your business. Just do and create what you care for. You cannot change the world, but you can change individuals. Don’t try to change other individuals, start with you.”

 

“There are four parts of you: mind, body, energy, emotions. The emotions are the juicy parts of the mind. All suffering enters through the mind and body. They are the only ways we can be wounded. If you can separate from your body and mind, there is no more suffering, and happiness comes.”

 

"You owe it to yourself and to the world to live peacefully and joyfully. Life is not about seeking happiness, life is about expressing happiness already within.”

“The fullness of heart can never be achieved; the fullness of head can never be achieved; the fullness of pocket can never be achieved. You are always less than full; you can always be fuller."

 

Emptiness is true joy, true peace, true love. Unlike fullness, emptiness cannot be more empty. Emptiness can be completely empty, completely full of emptiness. Emptiness is the only true fullness.”

“The only evil is to be unaware.”

"People who fear, who pray out of fear know nothing about prayer. Prayer is only about when you become insanely in love with something - then you can pray."

"Desire creates time. If you just sit here without any desire, without any thought, there is no such thing as time for that human being. Because you desire, there is future; because there is future, there is past; because there is a past, you miss the present."

"Forces of anger and hate have always been well organized on the planet. But to organize peace, to organize love, to organize concern and care, it takes enormous effort because it takes individual transformation."

"If everybody fell asleep in the world, there would be peace in the world. If everybody becomes fully awake, then also there will be wonderful peace in the world."

"Your body is walking straight towards the grave every moment of your life. You can either enjoy the walk or suffer the walk, that’s up to you. If you want to enjoy the walk and also know what’s beyond the walk, that’s another thing."

"If you become aware, you will do what’s needed; you will not do what’s not needed. If you become aware, you may start doing things which the whole world thinks is crazy, but still you do it because there is a clarity in you which is not clouded by other people’s opinions."

"What you need to understand is that happiness is not something you do. Happiness is what your have always been, but because you have no control over the nature of your mind you have messed up your happiness. When you allow your nature to express itself, you’re happy."

"When you decide not to run away from filth and not to become filth, now filth is tremendous manure to produce a wonderful flower out of you."

"The only crime you can commit against humanity and yourself is that you did not live to your full potential."

"Spirituality is just an aspiration; yoga is the technology to get there.

To be spiritual means to know something that is beyond the physical, beyond this mind and this body. If you do not know anything beyond your body and mind, then you will know immense suffering."

"The greatest crime that you can do to humanity is to teach your children that suffering is a part of their life. You have taken away the possibility of them being joyous human beings."

"People who have never been on fire will not know the coolness of water."

"To live in this world using logic, you are capable to do on your own. To go beyond logic, you need the guidance of a guru."

"Duality seems to be the source of all the pleasures in the world.  At the same time, duality is the source for all sufferings in the world. Once you enjoy the inner pleasures of your being, then you will see the external pleasure becomes totally meaningless."

"Good and bad were mainly invented by people who are selling tickets to heaven."
