Your physical body will age and decay. The mental body is a wonderful instrument but it can also rust with age… The energy body however can be completely unaffected by the aging process. You can maintain it just the way it was when you were born and keep it in mint fresh condition until you die.” Depending on the type of [vasana] you emit, you attract certain kinds of life situations to yourself.” Everyone will enjoy the book as well written, easily understood (at least on gross level) and comes handy with nice exercises (Sadhna) one can try and experiment by themselves. Your five senses are collecting data from the outside world every moment of your life. You are literally being bombarded with stimuli at every instant. Over time, this enormous volume of sense impressions begins to assume a certain distinctive pattern within you. This pattern slowly shapes itself into behavioral tendencies. A cluster of tendencies hardens over time into what you call your personality, or what you claim to be your true nature… This becomes your karma - an orientation to life that you have created for yourself in relative unawareness.” Sadhguru totally shatters the myth that karma is destiny and so many other myths that have gathered around this word. He methodically, and painstakingly explains in detail how karma actually works and how it can be a source of our empowerment. He anticipates, counters and answers our unasked questions through out the book, including specific questions in the latter part of the book. He speaks from a certain knowing, and his piercing logic and clarity is apparent in the precise, and sometimes brutal, honesty with which he discusses the topic.
