Here are some extracts from the book, which will perhaps spark your interest: 

“To mold situations the way you want them you must first know who you are.  The crux of the matter is that you don’t know who you are.  Who you are is not the sum total of accumulations you have made.  Everything that you currently know as “myself” is just an accumulation.  Your body is just an accumulation of food.  Your mind is just an accumulation of impressions gathered through the five senses.  What you accumulate can be yours, but it can never be you.”

“Your destiny is written by you unconsciously.  If you have mastery over your physical body, fifteen to twenty percent of your life and destiny will be in your hands.  If you have mastery over your mind, fifty to sixty percent of your life and destiny will be in your hands.  If you have mastery over your life energies, a hundred percent of your life and destiny will be in your hands.” 

Deepak Chopra said the following about the book: “Inner Engineering is a fascinating read of Sadhguru’s insights and his teachings. If you are ready, it is a tool to help awaken your own inner intelligence, the ultimate and supreme genius that mirrors the wisdom of the cosmos.”If the above resonates with you, you can grab a copy of Inner Engineering – A Yogi’s guide to Joy at Bookcourt at Rs 450.
