Sadhguru overturns several popular misconceptions about the mind and thoughts in these 18 quotes.
The Divine is insane. Just look at the human beings, the grasshoppers, the elephants, and the whole cosmos - could a sane mind be capable of all this?
Nothing in existence is ever repeated - no two blades of grass are the same. Everything is fresh and unique - only the mind is in constant repetition.
As people get more educated and complex in their minds, their ability to suffer increases, because they can create a greater variety of sufferings.
Thoughts and emotions come from the same source. Thoughts are the dry expressions of the mind, emotions are juicy.
An idle mind is Divine’s workshop. An idler’s mind is devil’s workshop.
Meditation is the only freedom as it is a dimension beyond the mind. All the stress and struggle are of the mind.

In the vastness of the cosmos, everything is going perfect, but one nasty little thought in your mind can make it a bad day. That is lack of perspective.
Your mind is not your own. It is a complex amalgamation of all kinds of influences. The more you are identified with it, the further away you are from yourself.
If you use your mind as a memory bank, the past will repeat itself in cycles. If your mind becomes pure attention, you will know everything that is worth knowing.
External circumstances can only cause you physical pain. Suffering is created in your mind.
When you become free from the meanness of the mind, an indiscriminate sense of love and inclusion arises.
Fear, anger, resentment, and stress are poisons you create in your mind. If you take charge of your mind, you can create a chemistry of blissfulness.
If you cannot keep your mind peaceful, how can the world be peaceful? The conflicts and violence in the world are just a manifestation of the human mind.
Only those who keep the garbage of their minds aside are truly capable of love and compassion.
The moment you transcend the limitations of your logical mind, there is no such thing as time and space.
If you do not mess your mind, you will naturally be joyful.
When your mind becomes still, your intelligence explodes.
I don’t have a mindset. I have an intelligence that is not set but fluid.
