Sadhguru, a yogi, mystic, and spiritual leader, discusses the principles of Inner Engineering and the path to unlocking human potential. He delves into the concepts of pain, suffering, joy, and the importance of inner wellbeing, offering profound insights on how to live a pleasant life.
The distinction between pain and suffering
Pain is a self-preservation mechanism, but suffering is a mental creation.
When we dwell on our pain, we multiply it and create suffering.
Understanding this distinction can help us manage our experiences better.
Harnessing human potential
Humans possess limitless potential and can consciously determine their limits.
Unleashing this potential is not about reaching a peak, but about expanding one’s trajectory and managing time and energy effectively.
The importance of consciousness
Breaking free from unconscious patterns requires gaining consciousness and understanding the problem’s nature.
Compulsiveness is not inherently bad, but acting consciously prevents others from controlling us.
