最大的takeaway是了解了一下Bhava Spandana 到底是在干啥——大致的逻辑是，生命的本质其实就是在向往一些根本性的东西，没有这种向往（longing）也就没有了生命；但是很多人会把这种longing变成各种琐碎而有限的desire——看见什么就想要什么，这就会很耗散生命原本巨大的能量和无限的可能。BSP大概就是让你消除掉那些desire的具体内容只留下生命本身巨大的向往和能量吧！

Wow wow wowwowwowwow!!!
This is such a short clear cut and to-the point conversations with SG! I want to highlight the whole book it's so good!!!
Everyone should start with this before they get into any practices because this will help them involve themselves fully with their practices; and you get a practice at the end as a bonus!
I don't usually write reviews for non-fiction books but I had to write SOMETHING here! This was AWESOME!!!! 🤌🤌🤌
I will keep coming back to this book along with the notes and highlights I made at least to refresh me on this awesomeness if need be! 🤌

You’ll have to listen to the way Sadhguru speaks before appreciating how the books are written. At first all the ideas come across as ‘childish’ but when you really pay attention, everything he is saying is beyond profound.

A short transcription of answers to multiple questions on life. Great.

Resourceful. Helps you realign your perspective. However, it contradicts itself in some places.
