Of Mystics & Mistakes by Sadhguru

Sadhguru on the subject he is most often asked about and most reluctant to romanticise: mysticism itself — what a mystic actually is, what the word has been made to mean, and how much of what passes for spirituality is neither.

What the book covers

• The mystic as a category, distinguished from the religious and the merely unusual
• The role of a guru, and the ways that relationship is commonly misunderstood
• Mistakes seekers make — spiritual ambition, borrowed belief, and confusing experience with realisation
• Stories from mystical traditions, told with Sadhguru’s characteristic dryness
• The distinction between belief systems and direct experience

What to expect

Conversational, assembled from talks, and often funny — Sadhguru is more interested in puncturing spiritual pretension than in encouraging it. Short chapters that can be read out of order.

Who it’s for

Readers of Sadhguru’s Inner Engineering, Isha practitioners, and anyone drawn to Indian spiritual traditions who would rather have the claims examined than sold.
