“Our life energies are the most basic and the most powerful aspect of human beings.”

Sadhguru (1957) Yogi, mystic, visionary and humanitarian

Though most people are unaware of it, whichever way our energies play, that’s the way our bodies and our minds and our emotions play. So, once we get the energies—the fundamentals—moving in one direction, we can make sure that our bodies, emotions, and minds are also moving in that direction. -Sadhguru
