This text is a selection of excerpts from the book "Mind is Your Business and Body the Greatest Gadget" by Sadhguru, a spiritual leader. This book explores the nature of the mind and how to transcend its limitations to experience a higher state of awareness and liberation. Sadhguru describes the mind as a "circus" that can both take us to great heights and render us to the depths of despair. He emphasizes that the mind should be viewed as a tool, not a master, and offers meditation as a means to achieve this mastery. The text also includes an introduction to Isha Kriya, a 12-minute meditation practice designed to help individuals connect with the source of their existence and achieve a state of inner peace and well-being.
