How can you love one and hate another when the same divine exists in all. As many colors of the rainbow are an outcome of one pure light, the many religions of the world are an expression of one divine source. Religions of the world are not about one man's belief against another, but an opportunity and a possibility for all humans to reach the common ultimate source.

When someone comes from their scholarship, they are referred to in different ways. If someone comes from an inner experience, they are referred to as Sadhguru. The word “Sadhguru” is not a title. It is a description. Sadhguru means “uneducated Guru.” I am almost hundred percent spiritually uneducated. I don’t know any scriptures, I have not read the Vedas and I didn’t bother to read the Bhagavad Gita.

I come only from my inner experience and the only thing I know for sure is this piece of life from its origin to its ultimate.

If you know this piece of life, you know everything that is worth knowing in this cosmos, because the whole cosmic nature has happened only the way this piece of life has happened. You don’t have to go about searching the whole cosmos to know the mysteries of the universe. If you look inward and know this piece of life from A to Z, you know life in every possible way.

I am about life, I am not about heaven. It is not a popular thing to say, but I believe that the whole effort of the Guru should be to help a seeker deepen his seeking, not to give him answers.

If a human being says “I don’t know something,” then the possibility of knowing is open in his life. If he believes he knows something that he does not know, he is a mess. If I give you the answers, the only option you have is to either believe me or disbelieve me. If you believe, you don’t get any closer to finding answers to your seeking. If you don’t believe me, you aren’t getting closer either. All you will have is an interesting story that I told you, which you can tell others who in turn will tell others and it will continue to be distorted and add to all those distorted stories that have been going around for years and have messed up people’s lives so badly. So, if you are looking for the Vedas or scholarly knowledge, this is not the place. If you are looking for a method to know your ultimate nature, this is the place.

Spiritual process is a seeking. Religion means assuming things that you do not know.

Confidence can do things for you but confidence without clarity is a big disaster on the planet. Unfortunately, that has been the hallmark of religious people; they are confident without any clarity.

The spiritual process is always to either become a zero or to become infinite. You approach it whichever way is most convenient for you, but they are not different. Something-ness is always finite. Nothingness is infinite. How can nothingness and infinite be the same? If you want a really big number, do you add 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or do you add 0, 0, 0, 0, 0? Zero means nothing, but it is nothingness which makes a number into an infinite number. The most incredible thing in mathematics is the zero, and this did not come by accident. It is from a certain realization. When people looked inward and fell into the void of nothingness, the zero was born.

The science of yoga is the technology to make ourselves into a zero because zero is not a simple thing. Zero is infinite, it is the very beginning of everything.
