Mind is your Business and Body the Greatest Gadget (2 Books in 1)

by Sadhguru

If you detach yourself from life, you are avoiding life. You are here to experience life, not to avoid life.

Whether your mind is a misery or your mind is a miracle simply depends on whether you are allowing life to happen to you absolutely willingly or unwillingly.

“Circus” is not a negative word. A circus is a hugely coordinated symphony of actions. And that is how the brain is functioning.

“Tomorrow” is the deepest cunning of your mind. The mind will not say, “I won’t do it.” If your mind says, “I won’t do it,” your ego will say, “I will do it.” That is the nature of your ego.

What you call moments of bliss, moments of joy, moments of ecstasy, moments of utter peace, these were moments when you were not thinking about anything but were just living.

If you come to such a point that the experience of life, or someone’s presence has overwhelmed you so much that your mind has just sunk into the background, that what you think and what you feel is no more important, that someone else has become much more important for you – then devotion is a possibility.
