Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev Quotes:

So you are living by choice, but choices are made with out awareness - unconscious choices.

  • Blissfulness is not a rare visitor in your life, blissfulness is your constant companion, because that is the nature of your being.

  • As many colors of the rainbow are an outcome of one pure light, many religions of the world are an expression of the same divine source.
  • The word 'guru' means dispeller of darkness.
  • What you know as the highest, you just seek that. It doesn't matter whether it is going to happen or not going to happen, simply living with the vision itself is very elevating, is itself very liberating, is itself a very joyous process for any person.
  • Every human being is a unique human being.

  • You are not using your intelligence to reach the peak of your consciousness, to become peaceful and loving. You are using your  intelligence to drive yourself crazy.
