Here are 27 Quotes of wisdom by Sadhguru:

1: “Your body is on loan from the planet. All the countless numbers of people who have lived on this planet before you and me have all become topsoil, and so will you. This planet will collect back atom by atom what it has loaned to you.” ~Sadhguru

We must be mindful of the fact that all things are impermanent. Enjoy your life. Give to those in need. Do not become attached to things, or your life. None of us are getting out of this life alive.

2: “Today, if you have one depressing thought in you, you will sit depressed. Why? The whole cosmos is going on phenomenally well today, but that does not matter. In your mind there is one thought, not too many, just one that is bothering you. That thought will depress you and put you in the dumps.” ~ Sadhguru

Our thoughts create our reality. Every thought that we give our attention to is creating our future. Focus your thoughts on positive outcomes, and let go of negative ones. Choosing to focus your thoughts positively will bring more positive experiences into your reality.

Choosing hateful, or depressing thoughts only brings you more negative experiences. This is a universal truth. It can be no other way.

~ Sadhguru

If you do not identify with anything you have accumulated over a period of time, including your body and mind, you will be able to experience this.” ~ Sadhguru

7: “When your happiness is dependent upon what is happening outside of you, constantly you live as a slave to the external situation.” ~Sadhguru
