Right now Quote by Sadhguru
““So whatever you think about yourself, whatever the world thinks about you right now does not mean a damn thing existentially. When you say spirituality, you are seeing how to progress existentially – not socially, not psychologically, not emotionally. You want to progress on the existential level. You want to go somewhere on that level, because your emotion, your society, your psychology is all just pure imagination. Isn’t it so? Maybe sometimes pleasant imagination, but still imagination, isn’t it? So, the progression of a being beyond his body is not dependent upon who he was in the world, what he thought of himself, what everybody thought of him. It simply depends on how conscious he is, what he has generated beyond the physical within himself.””
