This book is an absolute treasure. It has enhanced my understanding of life and Shambhavi on an even greater level than I originally understood. No doubt the next time I read it - it will again open me up to other levels of experience.
I am humbly grateful to have learned more than I ever could have imagined from SADHGURU.
I started Sadhguruโs 21 minute Inner Engineering daily practice called Shambhavi in 2010 ; a tool to enhance oneโs life in creating inner and outer well being.
At the end of the Inner Engineering weekend course I took in August 2010, a closing video of Sadhguru was shown, Sadhguru said something to the effect โdo this 21 minute practice for 40 days and see what happens, do this for six months and you will never stopโ I was struck by the confidence and simplicity of which Sadhguru said this, I couldnโt understand why such an incredibly simple anyone can do practice, which even for a distracted mind only included a few minutes of meditation, could alter one so powerfully so as not to want me to stop! At the time I admit, I was in a place where I felt the need to do something about the way I was living life, โฆI wanted to know more, even though I was not sure what more was - what I did know, I was ready and eager to make changes to the way I was experiencing life. I yearned to modify the cyclical cycle of experiences occurring in my life, including cyclical thoughts and emotions. Since this practice seemed so basic - I decided there and then that I had to commit experience the unknown and actually see for myself - if this could this be true. I also knew this was not going to be an easy task, at a stretch; the idea of a disciplined routine of any kind other than working out was clearly not one of my best virtues. It is 2016 and I have not stopped. I can honestly say I cannot stop. The inner transformations and ever increasing state of internal and external awareness and changes have been nothing less than phenomenal and only continue to grow. This is why I do it everyday without fail, otherwise why bother. No matter how tired I am, I by pass the chatter of the mind and itโs vigorous aim to distract me, and commit. And, no matter how I am feeling before I sit down, my perception changes; I always, always feel better, relaxed yet alert, happier and energized.
This is only one of many reasons why I am humbly thankful to Sadhguru and all I have learned during these last six years.

Profound Read in Spirituality
I recently came across Sadhguru on one of the podcasts and since then got fascinated with his philosophy which he calls self-transformation. In this book, he relates the moment of his own awakening, and gives guidance to our highest spiritual enlightenment. He is devoted to humanitarian causes. He explains the term guru: โdispeller of darkness, someone who opens the door for youโฆโ He states, โAs 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.โ This book is summarized, โThe wisdom distilled in this accessible, profound, and engaging book offers readers time-tested tools that are fresh, alive, and radiantly new.โ And I highly agree with these words. What struck me with Sadhguru is the pure message he relates from the eastern world. And what Iโve been relying on is what Iโd call westernized knowledge. For example, in the western world, we keep hearing about seeking purpose in life as pursuit of happiness, but as Sadhguru explains the purpose of life is to be happy. And happiness comes from within. No external factor will make us happy. And what we seek as purpose in the western world is still classified as external factor in the eastern world. We will never be truly happy until we understand the meaning of happiness that comes from within. This is one of the most profound and engaging reads if youโre interested in spirituality.
