NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Thought leader, visionary, philanthropist, mystic, and yogi Sadhguru presents Western readers with a time-tested path to achieving absolute well-being: the classical science of yoga. “A loving invitation to live our best lives and a profound reassurance of why and how we can.”—Sir Ken Robinson, author of The Element, Finding Your Element, and Out of Our Minds: Learning to Be Creative NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY SPIRITUALITY & HEALTH The practice of hatha yoga, as we commonly know it, is but one of eight branches of the body of knowledge that is yoga. In fact, yoga is a sophisticated system of self-empowerment that is capable of harnessing and activating inner energies in such a way that your body and mind function at their optimal capacity. It is a means to create inner situations exactly the way you want them, turning you into the architect of your own joy. A yogi lives life in this expansive state, and in this transformative book Sadhguru tells the story of his own awakening, from a boy with an unusual affinity for the natural world to a young daredevil who crossed the Indian continent on his motorcycle. He relates the moment of his enlightenment on a mountaintop in southern India, where time stood still and he emerged radically changed. Today, as the founder of Isha, an organization devoted to humanitarian causes, he lights the path for millions. The term guru, he notes, means “dispeller of darkness, someone who opens the door for you. . . . As a guru, I have no doctrine to teach, no philosophy to impart, no belief to propagate. And that is because the only solution for all the ills that plague humanity is self-transformation. Self-transformation means that nothing of the old remains. It is a dimensional shift in the way you perceive and experience life.” The wisdom distilled in this accessible, profound, and engaging book offers readers time-tested tools that are fresh, alive, and radiantly new. Inner Engineering presents a revolutionary way of thinking about our agency and our humanity and the opportunity to achieve nothing less than a life of joy.

NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY, and PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BESTSELLER “Full of valuable insights to guide you.”—WILL SMITH “Thoughtful and life-affirming . . . a must-read.”—TONY ROBBINS “This book will put you back in charge of your own life.”—TOM BRADY A new perspective on the overused and misunderstood concept of “karma” that offers the key to happiness and enlightenment, from the world-renowned spiritual master Sadhguru. What is karma? Most people understand karma as a balance sheet of good and bad deeds, virtues and sins. The mechanism that decrees that we cannot evade the consequences of our own actions. In reality, karma has nothing to do with reward and punishment. Karma simply means action: your action, your responsibility. It isn’t some external system of crime and punishment, but an internal cycle generated by you. Accumulation of karma is determined only by your intention and the way you respond to what is happening to you. Over time, it’s possible to become ensnared by your own unconscious patterns of behavior. In Karma, Sadhguru seeks to put you back in the driver’s seat, turning you from a terror-struck passenger to a confident driver navigating the course of your own destiny. By living consciously and fully inhabiting each moment, you can free yourself from the cycle. Karma is an exploration and a manual, restoring our understanding of karma to its original potential for freedom and empowerment instead of a source of entanglement. Through Sadhguru’s teachings, you will learn how to live intelligently and joyfully in a challenging world.

In modern societies, enhancing the quality of our life has become one of our main objectives. In this pursuit, we tend to emphasize on enhancing external situations, our job, business, family and the abounding accumulation of material things; in spite of all the efforts, our personal and professional lives are too often painfully lacking happiness and fulfillment. In this volume, Sadhguru shifts our focus to the inside, pointing out a way to establish a true sense of inner peace and wellbeing by applying "Inner Management."

Inner engineering is a subject which has always interested me throughout my life. I am lucky to have attended quite a few Inner Engineering sessions conducted by some organizations. Such seminars are normally conducted by religious organizations. Of late secular and professional organizations also conduct such seminars to boost overall health and well being. Hurt feelings are the result of most of the turmoil that we see around us today. Individuals have hurt feelings; communities have hurt feelings so do whole nations have hurt feelings. Hurt feelings are the result of some past events in which one of the persons involved or community involved have had to undergo public embarrassment. The public insult caused due to hurt feelings gives birth to a desire to take revenge. Individuals, communities and nations keep this desire for revenge for years. Due to this desire for revenge are born personal fights, revolts and wars. The great wars which humanity has waged were caused due to hurt feelings which the victim had gone through. Hence engineering is required at all levels be it at individual level, community level or national level. People have to be bold and forgive each other. National leaders should be bold enough to accept responsibility for the mistakes committed in the past by their leaders and submit a public apology. This is the only way forward. Nations have fought wars against each other due to misunderstandings and mistakes on the part of their ancestors. Because of this, even decades after world war two some nations still regard other nations as their rivals or enemies. Throughout the world we find border skirmishes between the armies of nations due to this rivalry carried forward from past wars. As examples I can mention the regular skirmishes between India and Pakistan on the L.O.C., The continuous skirmishes between the Israeli army and the Arabs in the Gaza Strip is another example of the result of hurt feelings between two nations. This article tries to delve into the subject of hurt feelings and the tragic events caused by them. If people and nations forgive each other then trillions of dollars that are spent with the intentions of inflicting harm to each other would be saved. Without hurt feelings the world would become a better place with abundance of resources for the betterment of society as a whole. I have written this small article without any bias towards or against people of any community and with a secular mental attitude. Hence I have preferred to name the supreme deity as just ‘God’ or Divinity. Circumstantial evidences are overwhelming that mind in conjunction with Divinity can really work wonders by engineering the mind and making available avenues for progress.
