Because we have forgotten the enormity of being human. Yoga does not make us superhuman. He just makes us feel that. Being human is great in itself. According to the science of yoga, we have five bodies.
Physical Body – Means the food we consume. The body that is made of it. It is called Annamayi Kosha.
Mental Body – It is called Manomayi Kosha i.e. mental body. In this mental body, whatever negative thoughts come. Because of that, Psychosomatic Disorder occurs. Meaning, its effect also comes on our physical body. Both the manomaya kosha and the annamaya kosha are linked to each other. Because our mind is not only in the brain. If it was only in the brain. So diseases come only in the brain.

Energy Body – It is also called Pranamayai Kosha i.e. energy body. The energy body works to flow energy to our hardware and software. If the energy body, ours remains balanced. So in our mental body and physical body, no diseases come.
Wisdom Body – It is also called the body of knowledge. Knowledge means information. So special knowledge means extraordinary knowledge. This is the dimension of our body. It contains extraordinary information. It is beyond the five senses.
Blissful Body – This is called anandmayi kosha. It is completely immaterial. If we touch this dimension of the body. So we become totally, blissful. It breaks the boundaries of time and space. There are stories of many such yogis. Who used to meditate while sitting in one place for a long time.
How was it possible to meditate in one place for a long time? He would have touched this dimension of the body. Therefore, for them the boundaries of time and space were completely over.
If our physical, mental and energy body becomes balanced. So we enter this dimension. Through yoga and sadhana, we can create balance in the physical, mental and energy body.

Is our body a wonderful machine.
In fact, our body is the wonderful machine of this world. All the machines of the world have come out of this machine. But do we make full use of its potential? Sadhguru says that we do not use even 1% of our body’s capabilities. Less than 1% of our body’s capacity is needed just to survive and survive.
We are doing very little work with our bodies. That’s why this is happening. Because of our intellectual level. It is limited to the physical level only.
Yoga teaches us that our body, which is the five senses. Beyond that, how do we harness its capabilities. Because our body. He has the ability to download the entire universe. If we keep our body in the right position. So you can get complete information about the universe. To illustrate this point, Sadhguru gives an example from his life.
For a few years, Sadhguru ji lived in a farm house. In a nearby village, a man lived. Who rarely listened. People thought him a fool. Because he did not answer anyone’s words. The Sadhguru hired that person.
One day the man started plowing the field at 4:00 in the morning. Sadhguru asked what are you doing. Because it hasn’t rained. The sky above is very clear. There is no chance of rain. Even then, why are you plowing the field? That person said with great confidence. That Swamiji it is going to rain today. It really rained that day.
Sadhguru was very surprised. He began to think that what this person understood. Why didn’t she understand me? By moving his hand here and there, he tried to get an idea of the humidity and temperature.
Tried to read the sky. He read many books related to weather. But they did not get the answer. But by continuously making efforts in that direction. After 18 months, he mastered it. Sadhguru says if I speak.
(Inner Engineering Book Summary)
It is going to rain today. So its chances are 95%. This is not magic or astrology. Our body is made up of five elements. He gives us this information.
breathing exercises.
Sadhguru ji says what you have to do. Every day for 5 minutes, you have to sit in the state of meditation. Have to close the eyes. Let the breath be still. You will find that slowly your breathing is getting steady. What does it mean to be breathless? Sadhguru explains that a common person takes 12 to 15 breaths in a minute.
If these breaths become steady at 12. So in your environment, what’s going to change. You become receptive to it. You start to understand. What is going to change in the environment around you? If these breaths become steady at 9. So you start understanding the language of beings. If these breaths become steady at 6. So you become sensitive to the changes of this earth.
Same if it settles down on breath 3. So Sadhguru says that you become completely receptive to the grace of the universe. But one thing, we have to keep in mind here. We don’t have to force our breath. Nor does it have to be forced down. You just have to keep practising. Slowly our breathing starts to become steady.

Along with all this, you also have to pay attention to food to increase the capabilities of your body. Which food is good for us vegetarian or non-vegetarian? Sadhguru ji says.

Importance of fasting for our body.
Sadhguru says that the chakra of our body. It is completed in 48 to 40 days. There are 3 days like this in this round. In which our body does not need food. That means three days. You can even live without food. Because it is also the time of cleaning our body. But this in 48 to 40 days, what are those 3 days. Where we do not need to eat food.
(Inner Engineering Book Summary)
How will we understand this? Because we are not very sensitive towards our body. That’s why we don’t know which day it is. The day we don’t need to eat food.
That is why our sages have kept Ekadashi as a day of fasting. You can fast on that day. According to our Indian calendar, it comes on the 11th day of the moon.

importance of mind.
For Inner Engineering, we have to understand our mind as well. Sadhguru ji asks us if you want to be the person you want to live life. Or want to be a person who thinks about life. Because for most people, their life is 90% that part. They start thinking about life. You know that our earth is rotating through time. This is no simple matter. This is a very supernatural event.
The whole sky ganga is running on time. The whole universe is working in a very perfect way. But in our mind, a small, lousy idea comes to our mind. Then spoils our whole day. why does this happen. Because our intellect attaches its identity to a particular thing. To which we associate identity.
Accordingly, we also get ideas. If we assume that we are human. So we will get the same type of thoughts. You will feel the same feelings. If we associate ourselves with any nation or religion. So our mind works in that realm. The same type of thoughts keep coming to us. But when death comes.
(Inner Engineering Book Summary)
So all this identity of ours ends. Sadhguru says. If you became aware before death came. So all these troubles, we will never again in life.
