GREAT QUOTES

FROM SADHGURU


JAGGI VASUDEV

Post Dated 06-Oct-2012

Look at the Quotable Quotes  section of any web site; You  will find most of the quotes coming from western  authors, leaders and religionists. They are good and impressive – as far as they go. But they are also a painful indicates the GAP in the spread of knowledge and wisdom from the EAST to the other parts of the world.

India had the best of knowledge and wisdom in many fields of human life and Endeavour for several millennia. The life and sayings of Great leaders like Lord Krishna and Rama remains unknown to the rest of the world in any significant way. They are certainly not mythical characters who never existed. They were actual human beings, with divine blessings, the best ever born on earth. Their quotes therefore need to be studied in greater depth and made known to the whole Human race.

When we come to spiritual leaders, the best are undoubtedly from India.

They are not only spiritual;as their wisdom touches every aspect of human life – and life after life too.

Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev is one such Extraordinary Spiritual leader - who transcends the boundaries of all religions, nations, races, and in fact, all such labels that divide human beings. His beautiful words touch upon many facets of human life and are relevant in every part of the world.

This Blog has been covering his fascinating QUOTABLE QUOTES; and, Readers can find number of his quotes in the earlier posts in this Blog.

2.    Too many people are hungry not because there is dearth of food. It is because there is dearth of love and care in human hearts.
3.    Animals are neither crude nor cruel. They just function according to the dictate of their instinct.
4.    The same dimension that made Krishna or Jesus who they were, exists within you too. It just needs your attention to blossom.
5.    If you are willing to strive there is a way to go beyond all the limitations that are considered human.
6.    Mantras are means to prepare you towards the higher possibility of becoming meditative.
7.    If you conduct your relationships responsibly, with love and care, they will go well.
8.    You have the potential to experience the whole universe as a part of yourself. Yoga is about exploring this possibility.
9.    Prosperity comes out of clarity and competence; not because of competition against others.
10. If we nurture hatred and violence against others, some day, it will get us too.
11. If you look heavenward, you will lose your sense of reality.
