The source of all problems is within you. And so are the solutions. #SadhguruQuotes

[Sadhguru @SadhguruJV]

Forget about what you want from people, the world, from life. First establish this: what happens within you is determined by you and no one else. Once you take charge of your inner experience, you will naturally make it pleasant. Then you will pursue everything with joy, and whatever happens, your experience will always be wonderful.

People always try to meet the most wonderful person in the world. Why not be that wonderful person yourself. #SadhguruQuotes

Ever wonder why some days you’re an absolute machine, other days you can’t leave the couch, and occasionally you find perfect peace?

Ancient philosophy maps this out perfectly through the Trigunas—the 3 fundamental forces ruling your mind.

A visual breakdown: 👇

HOW TO BE INTELLIGENT 

In the Kalika Puran, Shiva loses his dear wife Sati and is filled with grief. Then Brahma tells him that grief is one of the 11 enemies of intelligence, and makes a complete list of of them.

Conquer these enemies to be intelligent. If you can't immediately understand why these 11 things make you lose intelligence, just think about it, you'll figure it out.

1. Shokha - grief 
2. Krodha - anger 
3. Lobha - possesiveness entitlement
4. Kama - lust
5. Moha - attachment to pleasurable states of mind 
6. Paratmata - subservience, not wanting to make mistakes, scared to get a bad reputation and therefore waiting for instuctions 
7. Irsha - not wanting to share knowlege or access
8. Mana - jingoistic pride , dehumanising others 
9. Vichikitsa - indecision, lack of confidence 
10. Krupa - helping those who don't deserve help. Spoonfeeding and stunting others' growth and learning 
11. Asuya - envy 
12. Jugupsa - abhorrence, instead of solving problems

PS don't be impatient. Even Shiva took time to overcome his grief, even though he had Brahma's help.

“But the moment you forgive consciously, the mind is strengthening its own center in its own hurt. So the mind which consciously forgives can never forgive; it does not know forgiveness; it forgives in order not to be further hurt.”

Ancient Indian philosophy introduces a powerful concept: Shadripu—the 6 inner enemies.

They aren't external forces. They are hardwired behavioral tendencies that quietly sabotage your peace, clarity, and growth from within.

Ultimately you are the Space. ✨
—The final truth of Vedic wisdom completely flips your perception.
You aren't a tiny speck trapped inside a massive universe. The entire universe is a passing show appearing within your awareness.
"You are the space where everything exists."

If you have one eye on the goal, you have only one eye to find your way. Not an efficient way to navigate life. #SadhguruQuotes

According to ancient Yoga philosophy, the human mind is often like a puppet, pulled by 5 invisible strings called the Panch Klesha (The 5 Afflictions).
Let’s untangle them. 👇 (1/7)

“Shiv and Parvati were never a love story built on perfection. They were the union of destruction and creation, silence and devotion, fire and softness.

She did not ask Mahadev to become less wild for her.
He did not ask Parvati to become less powerful for him.

That is why their love became divine.

In a world where people try to control love,
they chose understanding.
In a world obsessed with appearances,
they chose souls.

Parvati loved the man who carried storms inside him.
Shiv loved the woman who could walk through those storms without fear.

Their love teaches us this:
the deepest relationships are not about changing each other, but about standing beside each other
while both continue becoming who they truly are.

And perhaps that is why even today,
when people pray for eternal love,
they still whisper the names of Shiv and Parvati together.”

As a human being, the stars and planets need not decide your experience of life. You alone should decide your Inner Experience. #SadhguruQuotes
