Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev
Trusted and tried
If you draw your own map while driving your own vehicle, it is wonderful. But you may take a lifetime to cross an uncharted territory without a map.
Let’s say that you are going to Kedarnath. Somebody is driving and the road ahead is laid out for you. If you came alone and there were no proper directions, definitely you would have wished that you had a map to tell you how to get there.
Shivratri: Night of stillness
In the Indian culture, at one time, there used to be 365 festivals in a year. In other words, the people of India just needed an excuse to celebrate each day of the year.
What’s on your mind?
Questioner: Why do human beings suffer more than the animals?
Sadhguru: Animals suffer physically if things go wrong. Human beings suffer because there is a discretionary intellect. Human beings suffer much more than the other creatures because most of their suffering is mental and mental suffering is self-created. S/he suffers more because s/he is a much better expert at creating suffering for himself or herself and for others.
Who are you?
Most of your personality is created by you unconsciously; just a small part of it may be consciously created.
Get involved or fall dead
Everybody talks about detachment. If we want to be detached from life, the best thing is to fall dead. Then we will be completely detached. Isn’t it so?
Love and its splendours
In every human being, there is an aspiration to become more loving and concerned about other human beings. But people are trying to work towards it from the wrong end.
Invest in well-being
Using science and technology, much has been done on this planet in pursuit of human well-being, especially in the last 100 years.
One mantra, many gods
The inward process does not belong to any particular group.
The Hindu way of life
One fundamental thing that must be cleared up about the Hindu way of life is that with the term Hindu there is no “ism”.
Flash your intelligence
It is very important to know the difference between intelligence and knowledge. Intelligence is like a flashlight. If you flash it, it’ll just show you what’s there.
