*With the kind of population that we have become and the level of empowerment we have reached, if we do not turn inward now, we are going to be the biggest disaster that humanity has ever seen. 
The Only Problem
There is only one problem in the world – human beings.
And the only problem with the human being is
that he is unconscious and compulsive.
Whether this unconsciousness and compulsiveness
​ manifests itself in the form of war or a domestic situation,
​ it does not matter. 
Sadhguru

Life and Death in One Breath
​
Whatever you wish to do,
you must bring yourself to a moment
of joy and clarity within yourself.
​Why I am saying joy is because
when you are happy you are not compulsive.

When you are very happy and clear,
at that time if you look at things and see that
“Yes, this is what is more sensible for me”
– just do that.

It does not matter if it feels like hell;
it does not matter if you go through hell for ten years,
you just do that,
because that is where your wellbeing is.

Whenever your emotions go up and down,
your mind says many things
– that is not important.

It says one thing in the morning,
one thing in the evening;
it says one thing today and another thing tomorrow,
that is of no consequence.

When you are in different states of compulsiveness,
if you make decisions as to which way to turn,
you will be endlessly lost.

― Sadhguru, Life and Death in One Breath

AFTERNOON

When dew falls as tears from the morning sky,
When riverside trees sparkle in sunlight,
So close in my heart their shadows fall,
Then I know
The Universe is a floating lotus
In the holy lake of my mind.
Then I know:
I am the voice within the Voice,
The song within the Song,
The life within the Life,
The light breaking through the heart of Darkness."

From "A Flight of Swans", translated by Aurobindo Bose

Life and Death in One Breath
This song of mine will wind
its music around you, my child,
like the fond arms of love.

This song of mine will touch
your forehead like a kiss of blessing.

When you are alone it will sit
by your side and whisper in your ear.
When you are in the crowd
it will fence you about with aloofness.

My song will be like
a pair of wings to your dreams.
It will transport your heart
to the verge of the unknown.

It will be like the faithful star overhead
when dark night is over your road.
​
My song will sit in the pupils of your eyes,
and will carry your sight to the heart of things.

And when my voice is silent in death,
my song will speak to your living heart.

from "Collected Poems and Plays of Rabindranath Tagore "
