Sadhguru

Though nearly every individual has the necessary brain power to conduct their life, why does one sparkle with genius while another suffers from stress and anxiety?

Though we often hear advice to “believe in yourself,” Sadhguru explains that by strengthening our personalities, we also cause our energies to become more rigid.

Spirituality, he says, allows one to become malleable by dissolving the personality and enhancing the presence of life within.

Though tradition tells us that, should we find ourselves in the presence of a higher being, it is wise to ask for our heart’s desires without hesitation, Sadhguru cautions us that receiving a gift for which one is not evolved enough to receive will only bring trouble for both giver and receiver.
