a mystic's classic ease with paradox about whether life was true or dream" Life is a dream, but the dream is true. "

& that's what I'm trying to teach people now: if you really want to know sprituality, don't look for anything. People think it's looking for God. I tell them, don't look for anything. Just learn to look in an unprejudiced way; then you will see what is there. A seeker is not looking for anything; he's just looking. If this quality of simply looking doesn't come into you, you will see kinds of things, but not reality.

I've always believed door should open for you not because of your qualifications but because of who you are.

It would be foolish to believe it, but it would be even more foolish to disbelieve it.

It's obscene to keep giving & not receiving.It means something to the giver, & one shouldn't take that away.

Why should the mysterious knowledge of the self be limited to a few? Why can't everyone be choosen?To this, he replied - it would be more accurate to say, " Many are called, but few choose. "

Every human Being is Spritual. The only choice you have is between being Spritual consciously or unconsciously.

It's a totally wrong perception that you have to be fired up to do something. only small things get hot to do things.I'm a cool fire. That's how existence functions.It's cool, but creative. The really big things in existence never got hot. Take the creator, for instance. You're born, you die - He's fine either way.

It is just like a plant, not longing for water emotionally or mentally - it is deep energy longing.If there is a drop of water there, the roots will find their way to it. There's no emotion, no mind in it.It is a different kind of intelligence.It's just life's longing for itself.

" More than a life, Sadhguru " is the extraordinary story of Jaggi Vasudev or Sadhguru - a young agnostic who turned yogi; a wild motorcyclist who turned mystic; a sceptic who turned Spritual guide.  

‘The thirst to be boundless is not created by you; it is just life longing for itself.’ —Sadhguru This is the extraordinary story of Sadhguru—a young agnostic who turned yogi, a wild motorcyclist who turned mystic, a sceptic who turned spiritual guide. Pulsating with his razor-sharp intelligence, bracing wit and modern-day vocabulary, the book empowers you to explore your spiritual self and could well change your life. It seeks to re-create the life journey of a man who combines rationality with mysticism, irreverence with compassion, ancient wisdom with a provocatively contemporary outlook and a deep knowledge of the self with a contagious love of life. Described as ‘a profound mystic, visionary humanitarian and prominent spiritual leader of our times', he is equally at home in a satsangh in rural Tamil Nadu as at the World Economic Forum in Davos. In his early years, Jaggi Vasudev (or Sadhguru as he is now known) was a chronic truant, a boisterous prankster, and later a lover of motorbikes and fast cars. It is evident that the same urgency, passion and vitality echo in his spiritual pursuits to this day, from his creation of the historic Dhyanalinga—the mission of three lifetimes—to his approach as a guru. In Sadhguru's view, faith and reason, spirituality and science, the sacred and the material, cannot be divided into easy binaries. He sees people as ‘spiritual beings dabbling with the material rather than the reverse’, and liberation as the fundamental longing in every form of life. Truth for him is a living experience instead of a destination, a conclusion, or a matter of metaphysical speculation. The possibility of self-realization, he strongly believes, is available to all. Drawing upon extended conversations with Sadhguru, interviews with Isha colleagues and fellow meditators, poet Arundhathi Subramaniam presents an evocative portrait of a contemporary mystic and guru—a man who seems to pack the intensity and adventure of several lifetimes into a single one.
