“Because to eat, sleep, reproduce and die one day, you don't need this kind of a body, you don't need this kind of intelligence.”

—  Sadhguru

Encounter the Enlightened (2001)
Context: There is something else which needs to be looked at beyond the dimension of the body and mind. If that dimension is not experienced, once you have come in the human form, if you do not experience yourself beyond the limitations of this body and mind, I would say this human form has been wasted upon you. Because to eat, sleep, reproduce and die one day, you don't need this kind of a body, you don't need this kind of intelligence.
