Are you living by conscious choice, or simply on autopilot, following the well-worn grooves of ingrained patterns and compulsions? Sadhguru offers a profound truth: "In the inner life, there is only one kind of revolution and it is a silent one. … Continue reading Moving from compulsiveness to consciousness.
Touch the original nature of your existence.
Wrapping up the week with Sadhguru's words on silence. In today's whirlwind of activity, where stimulation bombards us from every corner, the concept of stillness can feel almost radical.

There is only one place where this work can be done… coming face to face with the “worst” parts of you, until you see them in a different light.
Love. It's a word tossed around so easily, yet its true essence often remains elusive. We crave it, we seek it from others, and sometimes feel a hollowness within us where it should reside.

It speaks of the possibility of having the kind of peace that is unaffected by circumstance, … Continue reading Peace is not the highest goal in life, it is the most fundamental requirement.
The past is alive only in our memory. The future is alive in only our imagination.
Sadhguru is our teacher this week. And as we look ahead into the next seven days, he reminds us that everything from the past or future, exists only within our minds. The past is a collection of memories, and the future is a series of projections. Neither truly exists in the tangible now. This realization … Continue reading The past is alive only in our memory. The future is alive in only our imagination.
