Human suffering is manufactured by the individual and can be resolved by turning inward to create peace.

“If you sit here, this is the basic program, many of them... I don't know how many of you have been through Inner Engineering, have you? Participants: Yes! Sadhguru: Oh... Oh! That's why! Layne Beachley: It's quite a few. Sadhguru: So, the simple process is this, if you sit here, you become conscious”

The individual is the center of their own suffering.

“And then I realized that the center of all of that misery and that suffering was me and something had to change.”

Most human suffering stems from the tendency to be constantly lost in unproductive thought rather than recognizing the peaceful nature of consciousness.

“what are the actual mechanics of our psychological suffering such that we do suffer unnecessarily so much of the time and when you look closely at all that it really is a matter of being lost in thought almost all of the time”

Suffering can be managed by reducing resistance to pain rather than trying to eliminate pain entirely.

“suffering equals pain multiplied by resistance to pain. And most people are trying to lower the pain to lower their suffering. What they need to do is to lower their resistance to pain. Cuz pain is inevitable.”

Human suffering is a consequence of overthinking and holding onto obsolete thoughts that are not rooted in one's true essence.

“I call it unnecessary or you know like obsolete or it could be the overthinking that they're holding on to. Just anytime we're overthinking something. I just I'm trying to bring everything to simplicity.”
