The best quotes by the author we have brought to you
“Confusion is a good state to be in. It means you are looking, constantly looking. People ask me, “Why do you confuse us like this?” I want you to understand, if you can be confused by anybody, it means you do not know. If you are fanatical, you cannot be confused. Or if you are realized, you cannot be confused. Between ignorance and enlightenment is a very thin line. But they are worlds apart.” (Of Mystics & Mistakes Quotes)
Sadhguru
Of Mystics & Mistakes
“Divinity never forces itself upon you. If you are willing, it is always there for you. If you are not willing, it is not there for you. So all you need to do is create the right kind of willingness and receptivity. Just to bow down and not have a will of your own is the biggest receptivity. It is the easiest way to receive.”

Of Mystics & Mistakes
“How the human system is happening, in the same way the universe has happened. In the same way that the micro is happening, that is how the macro has happened. If you look at the micro and perceive it, you will also know existence.”

“If you want God as a tranquilizer, it is okay as an idea, but if you want the Divine to be an awakening process in your life, an idea is not good enough.”

“If you want to become life sensitive, a simple process that you do is this: make whatever you think and whatever you feel less important. Try and see for one day. Suddenly you will feel the breeze, the rain, the flowers and the people, everything in a completely different way. Suddenly the life in you becomes much more active and alive for your experience.”

Of Mystics & Mistakes
“Intuition is not a different dimension of perception, as people usually try to make out. Intuition is just a quicker way of arriving at the same answer. Intuition is just a way of making use of the data and jumping the steps.”
Sadhguru
Of Mystics & Mistakes
“Mysticism is like pure science; it has no use. Mysticism is just the human longing to know… Occult is not science. Occult is just technology.”
Sadhguru
Of Mystics & Mistakes
“Now the need for seeking something outside will completely disappear. Once you are blissful by your own nature, your life becomes an expression of your blissfulness, not a pursuit of happiness.”

“Sunlight comes into your house not because you want it. It happens because you open the windows.”
Sadhguru
Of Mystics & Mistakes
“The essence of the spiritual process needs to be understood as a means to generate the necessary intensity to break the bubble, so that you are out of your individual nature. It is not about being good, it is not about being ethical, it is not about being moral. These things may all happen as a result, as a consequence. Once you have broken the bubble and known the freedom of experiencing everything as yourself, as a consequence you may function as a good person in society. But you have no particular intention of being good!”
Sadhguru
Of Mystics & Mistakes
“The mind has no tools to enter the unconscious dimensions. Only if you are outside of the mind you can look at everything the way it is. When you are in it, there is no way to dissect yourself. You can catch hold of somebody else and dissect them, but you cannot dissect yourself. Even if you do, you cannot see everything. If you are using any faculty of the mind you cannot truly be aware of the nature of the mind.”
Sadhguru
Of Mystics & Mistakes
“The most incredible thing is that you can know everything you wish to know with your eyes closed.”
Sadhguru
Of Mystics & Mistakes
“The whole spiritual process is just this: that you are willing to take the next step not knowing where it will lead you. If you are not ready for that, that means you are not ready for any new possibility.”
Sadhguru
Of Mystics & Mistakes
“They have been promising us for a long time — in every culture — that they are going to take us to heaven. They promise heaven because they are making a hell out of this place.”

Of Mystics & Mistakes
“Things do not descend upon anything that is not ready to receive them.”
Sadhguru
Of Mystics & Mistakes
“Whatever is in your hands, you keep that in perfect condition; then what is beyond you will anyway happen. But people are always trying to work at what is beyond them, not taking care of what is in their hands.”
Sadhguru
Of Mystics & Mistakes
“When we talk of “exploring the mystical,” we are not trying to dig into creation, because if you dig into creation, it will only get more complex. It will not bring clarity; it will only bring more complexity. That is why the yogis looked in a different direction. We looked inward. If you look inward, a different dimension opens up. Now instead of things getting more complex, you get to clarity. It is because of this that we say that those who look inward have a third eye. They see things that others cannot see. They have brought a new clarity to life.”
Sadhguru
Of Mystics & Mistakes
“Yogis are not against pleasure. It is just that they are unwilling to settle for little pleasures. They are greedy.”
