Save Soil: A spiritual movement at heart
Unfortunately, we have lost connection with what nurtures our life and how it is made. We are treating soil as an inert substance. No, it is a living system – the largest living system that we know in this universe. A handful of soil in a tropical country has 5–7 billion organisms.
World Earth Day: Ensure the world speaks about soil, says Sadhguru
"Ensure that the world speaks about soil because soil is the basis of pure water, (clean air and) the basis of the very life that we are,” said Sadhguru on the occasion of World Earth Day.

Why we must not do away with reservations for Dalits: Opinion by Sadhguru
If we don’t bring them up with some privileges so that they reach the same level as the rest of us some day, it would be unfair

Religion is becoming a numbers game and another disguise for politics: Sadhguru
There is sufficient intellect on the planet right now for us to reconsider the fundamentals of religion on this planet. Religion is an inward step. It is something intimate that a human being does within oneself. It is not something that you organise and do on the street. It is a step towards your creator.

'Yoga is the insight that everything is really one energy'
If I sit in one way, it is one asana. If I sit in another way, it is another asana. So, innumerable asanas are possible. Out of these innumerable postures that the body can take, 84 fundamental postures have been identified as yogasanas, writes Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev.

Choose joy, not misery
The problem with most of us is that we know how to be joyful but don’t know how to sustain it. In other words, when outside situations become conducive, you tend to become a little joyful.

Experience and enjoy life to the fullest
A significant thing that every human being has to do is to structure his/her psychological and emotional framework around the most fundamental fact of life – mortality. Only when you do this, you will naturally become eligible for a spiritual process, to a dimension beyond the mundane.

Learn from situations
As long as you live within the limitations of your body and mind, you will suffer. If suffering has not come to you yet, you are in the queue. But every suffering need not happen to you. Sadhguru writes.

The 14th day of every lunar month or the day before the new moon is known as Shivarathri. Among all the 12 Shivarathris that occur in a calendar year, Mahashivarathri, the one that occurs in February-March, is of the most spiritual significance. Sadhguru writes.

Life’s deeper crux
One must always bear in mind that having a good home, eating good food and wearing good clothes are all only means to living well; but not the goals of our life, Sadhguru reports.

Subtlety of spirituality
Spirituality is not difficult. It is just that there is some subtleness to it that people are unable to understand. The hopelessness of it is that, the very effort that you make to dissolve, is also karma. Sadhguru writes.

Life and death mystery
Death is the most profound and mysterious aspect of life for most of us because no matter what stories we have heard, we cannot figure out what it is. Neither science nor philosophy is able to figure out what death is.

A spiritual lifestyle
Every aspect of growth that you know always amounts to accumulation. Your body is growing, that's accumulation. Your business is growing, that's accumulation. Your family is growing, that's accumulation.

The ultimate power
Unfortunately, as most humans have not found any sense of deep fulfillment within themselves, they are constantly hankering for dominance. When power becomes a means to dominate, it becomes ugly.

The divine path
When we are born physically, it is a birth of many possibilities. Biology just delivers you as an animal. It is you who can turn yourself into a full-blown human being and/or a divine soul.

Fast-forward life
Once you are actively on a spiritual path, some people may tell you, "Now everything will be okay." But being on the spiritual path is not about having everything okay.

The knowledge peak
Generally, in India, most yogis and mystics choose mountain peaks because they are not frequented by people, they are safe places. They choose rocks to deposit their knowledge in an energy form.

Essence of spirituality
It is important that the spiritual dimension of life is brought into everybody's lives. Why some people develop an allergy to spirituality is because they are told that spirituality means leaving everything and going to the mountains. It is not true. It is better to learn how to be spiritual in your office, in your home, on the streets, or wherever you are. Spirituality is about your interiority, not what you do outside.

Cultivate awareness
Everybody makes a choice, but a choice made in unawareness is compulsion. Let us say you get angry. It is your choice to be angry. You believe that is the way to handle the situation, but the choice is made in such unawareness that it is a compulsion.

Untruth to truth
Amavasya means no moon day or new moon day. Whenever something or somebody goes absent, one feels the presence all the more and powerful. On any other day, even the Pournami, it is there; but on Amavasya, the presence is felt even more.

Curse of accumulation
The nature of the mind is always to accumulate. When it is gross, it wants to accumulate things, when it becomes a little more evolved, it wants to accumulate knowledge. When emotion is dominant, it wants to accumulate people. Sadhguru writes.

Astrology and your fate
Astrology is not a science. It is a kind of a sign language. By reading certain signs, people are able to make certain types of predictions but they are never 100% correct.

A Guru is a live map
Let us say all that you are seeking is to go to a distant city right now. If you are alone and there are no proper directions, definitely you would have wished, that there was a map to tell you how to get there.
