SG quotes
Hundreds and thousands of living beings meet death at every moment, yet the foolish man thinks himself deathless and does not prepare for death. This is the biggest wonder of life.

- Death : An inside story
The most beautiful moments in life are moments when you are expressing your joy, not when you are seeking it.
Sex in the body is fine. Money in the wallet is fine. It is only a problem when they enter your mind.
If your body goes in search of a relationship, we call this sexuality. If your mind goes in search of relationships, we call this companionship. If your emotion goes in search of relationships, we call this love. If your energies go in search of relationship, we call this yoga.
(-Life and Death in One Breath )
If you think hundred percent logically, there is really no possibility of life.

Bullshit may get you to the top, but it never lets you stay there!
: A Yogi's Guide to Joy
Do you understand? Man needs entertainment simply to hide his madness. If he was perfectly sane, he would not need entertainment. He could just sit and watch this bamboo grow. He does not really need entertainment.
(-Mystic's Musings)
Confusion is a good state to be in. It means you are looking, constantly looking. If you are fanatical, you cannot be confused. Or if you are realized, you cannot be confused. Between ignorance and enlightenment is a very thin line. But they are worlds apart.
- Of Mystics & Mistakes
Too many people are hungry not because there is dearth of food. It is because there is dearth of love and care in human hearts.
( - in conversation with the mystic)
Love is not a joy; it is a deep wonderful pain. It is a very deep, tearing, wonderful pain. Something within you should tear; not just something, everything within you should tear. Only then you know what love is. If it feels pleasant, that’s not love; it’s just convenience. Maybe you felt a little affection. If you have ever loved, everything inside you tears apart, really tears apart. It’s painful but wonderful. That’s how it is.
-Mystic's Musings
You did not create this life , so you have no business to take it either—whether it is yours or someone else’s.
-Death; An Inside Story
Avoiding death is avoiding life. Dodging life is inviting death.
- Death: an inside story
If you want to become life sensitive, a simple process that you do is this: make whatever you think and whatever you feel less important. Try and see for one day. Suddenly you will feel the breeze, the rain, the flowers and the people, everything in a completely different way. Suddenly the life in you becomes much more active and alive for your experience.
When pain, misery, or anger happen, it is time to look within you, not around you.
- youth and truth
They are certain old qualities and flavors within you from the past. However much you may try to pretend that you’re a very nice and loving person, when deals are offered, suddenly old 'vasanas' will take control of you. There’s an urge to bite the deal.
That's why 'sādhana', to evaporate the flavours that you unconsciously have taken up.
- Mystic's Musings
You have too much social influence upon you. You are not going by your own nature. People do so many nonsensical life-negative things because they don’t want to be left out of the scene around them.
(- Pebbles of wisdom)
There is so much adventure that only a youth can experience. Youth is not the time to languish in pleasure - youth is the time for exploration and adventure
( - Youth and truth)
Confidence and stupidity are a very dangerous combination, but they generally go together.
-A Yogi's Guide to Joy
Yogis are not against pleasure. It is just that they are unwilling to settle for little pleasures. They are greedy.
- Of Mystics and Mistakes
They have been promising us for a long time — in every culture — that they are going to take us to heaven. They promise heaven because they are making a hell out of this place.
-Of Mystics & Mistakes
But to be loving is simply this: a willingness to respond freely and openly. Right now, it may be limited to one or two people in your lives. But it is possible to extend this ability to embrace the entire world.
- A Yogi's Guide to Joy
Death is a fiction created by people who live their lives in total unawareness. There is only life, life and life alone, moving from one dimension to another, another dimension to another.
-Life and Death in One Breath
The most incredible thing is that you can know everything you wish to know about 'life' with your eyes closed.
-Of Mystics & Mistakes
If you 'look inward', a different dimension opens up. Now instead of things getting more complex, you get to clarity. It is because of this that we say that those who look inward have a third eye. They see things that others cannot see. They have brought a new clarity to life.
- Of Mystics & Mistakes
Every seed goes through the tremendous struggle of losing itself – losing its safety and integrity and becoming vulnerable to every outside force that’s around. But without that vulnerability, without the breaking, without the shedding of the shell, ' life' won’t sprout.
-Pebbles Of Wisdom
The whole world itself is going through a unique kind of neurosis, which was not there in the past. This is simply because modern man has stopped using his body to a large extent.
- Yogi's guide to joy
Our lives become beautiful not because we are perfect and we are doing the 'right things'. Our lives become beautiful because we put our heart into what we are doing. It doesn't matter what we are doing. Whether we are sweeping the floor, or managing the country. Living in an atmosphere where people are passionate about what they are doing itself is highly enriching.
- youth and truth
Generally, the smartest people on the planet – those people who think they are really smart – tend to have the most horrible relationships.
-Life and Death in One Breath
If terrible things have happened to you, you ought to have grown wise. If the worst possible events have befallen you, you should be the wisest of the lot. But instead of growing wise, most people become wounded. In a state of conscious response, it is possible to use every life situation—however ugly—as an opportunity for growth. But if you habitually think, “I am the way I am because of someone else,” you are using life situations merely as an opportunity for self-destruction or stagnation.
-: A Yogi's Guide to Joy
As your likes and dislikes become stronger, as your identifications become stronger with one thing or another, all that you are doing is excluding existence. If I say, “I like this very much,” in a big way I am excluding the rest of existence at that moment. So the stronger it becomes, the deeper the exclusion becomes. In exclusion, you become trapped. In inclusion, you become liberated.
( - in a Sathsang )
You cannot choose a Guru. Deepen your longing and the Guru will choose you.
-Mystic's Musings
Being on the spiritual path is not about making life pleasant. It’s about seeing how to transcend both the pleasant and the unpleasant.
- Mystic's Musings
I am not here to speak the Truth. I am here just to give you a method to perceive it.
-Of Mystics & Mistakes
Enlightenment is not an attainment or an achievement. It is a homecoming. Your senses give you the impression that you are experiencing the outside, but you have never experienced the outside. When you realize that all that you experience is within, that absolute homecoming is enlightenment.
( - Sathsang with Sadhguru)
There is only one calamity: ignorance. And there is only one solution: enlightenment.
- Midnights with mystic
