People may believe they are living well, but they are not. They live in good homes, drive good cars, wear good clothes, but they think they are living well because they look at other people who don’t have the same things and feel happy about it. This is not living well. This is a sick life. They feel happy by comparing themselves with someone who is not doing as well as them. This is all the joy most people have in their life. So I don’t call that as living well. For me, living well is if you are able to sit here in such a way that nothing matters; whether you have something or not.

Comparing your lives with people don‘t make it better.

Today, your children trust Google more than what you or your forefathers have to say. It is unfortunate that we have moved from intuition to information.People work hard mentally and physically both ways for their whole life and at last when they feel it's the end, they posses only one thing and that is experience. What they observed, what they felt, how they lived their whole life, it's all what they have (A true and pure information of life without any manipulation). I don't know if we should respect someone's attitude or not but we should respect their experiences and their struggles.

Intuition to information.

God is the creation of miserable people. Because there are lots of miserable people in the world, God has thrived. If the world was full of blissful beings, God would disappear. If all of us are truly happy, God has no business in this world. We can handle ourselves. We need God only because we have created so much of misery within ourselves and above all such a fear of suffering.It is not completely true but we can't deny it's existence.

God is the creation of human.

Death is a natural process. If life happens, then death is natural. Being afraid of something natural is unnatural. The fear of death is simply because we are not in touch with reality.You talk of your body as if you came with it. You did not. You only gathered it. You gathered it while in your mother’s womb and continued gathering it after your birth. Whatever we accumulate, we can say, ‘This is mine.’ But you cannot say, ‘This is me.’What you've gathered or borrowed from this world is not yours. You earned it or you got it unintentionally but at the end you must return it back to the earth.

Fear of death.

The sooner you are disillusioned, the better it is for you.Another positive word for disillusionment is Enlightenment. Enlightenment is when all illusions collapse.We must decide in our lives whether we want truth that is liberating or we want fancy lies which give solace.

Illusion to disillusion

It is best that people understand this: you did not create life, so you have no business to take it either—whether it is yours or someone else’s. It is as simple as that. There are life situations; some are okay, some are not okay, some are horrible. Still, it does not give you the right to take a life because you are incapable of creating one.

Life is not a human business.

You never question Nature’s intelligence, because your intelligence is too small to question the intelligence of Nature. Whatever happens naturally is always right, there is no question about it. It always moves in the right direction because Nature does not decide things with thoughts and emotion. It just decides things as per your tendencies. This is not a thought. With thought, you can always make a mistake, but with tendencies, there can be no mistake.

Tendencies don't mistake.

Right now, some people want you to believe that the moment you die, you go to heaven and there will be a party organized there; all your relatives and friends are waiting for you and you will have a great time.You must understand that when you die, you lose your body, but still you are here. You do not go anywhere. It is just that the dimensional shift has happened from being embodied to disembodied, or from physicality to a subtler physicality. It is not a geographical shift from here to heaven or here to hell or wherever it is.

Heaven or hell.

Death is a taboo in most societies in the world. But what if we have got this completely wrong? What if death was not the catastrophe it is made out to be but an essential aspect of life, rife with spiritual possibilities for transcendence? For the first time, someone is saying just that. In this unique treatise-like exposition, Sadhguru dwells extensively upon his inner experience as he expounds on the more profound aspects of death that are rarely spoken about. From a practical standpoint, he elaborates on what preparations one can make for one's death, how best we can assist someone who is dying and how we can continue to support their journey even after death. Whether a believer or not, a devotee or an agnostic, an accomplished seeker or a simpleton, this is truly a book for all those who shall die!
