Inner Engineering

1. IDEA 1

   Wellbeing can be engineered from within

   Sadhguru argues that just as humans have engineered the outside world with technology, they can learn to engineer their inner world. Joy and peace, he says, are not accidents of circumstance but states we can learn to create.

2. IDEA 2

   An experience changed his life

   Sadhguru describes sitting on a rock on Chamundi Hill near Mysore as a young man and having an experience in which he felt no boundary between himself and the world. This experience shaped his later teaching.

3. IDEA 3

   Responsibility means ability to respond

   Sadhguru reframes responsibility as the ability to respond to any situation. Taking responsibility for one's inner state, he argues, gives freedom rather than burden. In his view, blaming people or luck keeps us stuck, while owning our response lets us change things.
