“You are not in the world. You are the world.”
“The most important thing is not what happens to you, but how you experience it.”
“Joy is not a goal; it is your natural state.”
“If you want to live a truly fulfilling life, you have to take care of the body, mind, and energy. Only then can you experience life in its full depth.”
“You don’t have to be in control of everything, but you must learn to control your own mind.”
“Peace is not something that you achieve, it is something that you discover when you cease to struggle.”
“The mind is a wonderful servant, but a terrible master.”
“If you want to experience the highest possibilities of life, you must first create the highest quality of experience within yourself.”
I decided to read Inner Engineering because I had heard a lot about it. Many people on the internet and around me called it “life-changing.” They said it gave them more peace, joy, hope, and helped them understand life better. So, I was curious to see what the book was all about.
After reading it, I can say I have mixed feelings.
On the positive side, the book talks a lot about yoga,not just as an exercise, but as a way to bring balance and peace into your life. Sadhguru shares many stories of people who practiced yoga and felt a big change in their minds and emotions. These parts of the book were interesting and made me feel motivated to take better care of my inner self. I liked how he explained that real happiness comes from within, not from the outside world.
However, there were some parts of the book that I didn’t connect with. Some ideas felt too philosophical or too spiritual for me. I found it hard to fully relate to certain concepts because they weren’t explained in a practical or scientific way. Also, in some parts, the book felt more like an advertisement for Sadhguru’s Isha programs. That made it feel a bit one-sided, like it was trying to sell something instead of just sharing knowledge.
I understand that this book may help a lot of people, especially those who are on a spiritual path or looking for deeper meaning in life. But for someone like me, who prefers practical advice and facts, it didn’t fully meet my expectations.
In short, this book has some valuable ideas, especially about the importance of inner well-being and the benefits of yoga. But it may not be for everyone. If you enjoy spiritual or philosophical books, you might love it. If you prefer more logical or scientific explanations, you may find parts of it hard to relate to, just like I did.
