Sadhguru, the mystic and yogi, often gives novel perspectives on how we view our daily life in general, and even though his words sound simple, they are interesting lookouts into how we might just change our situation by diverting the perspective.Recently, in his X post, he shared some wise words that carry a profound idea about how life works. He invites us to see creation not as something far away from us, but as something held close, like a child in a parent’s lap. At the same time, it says the source of everything is not outside; it is at the very center of what exists.In daily life, we often feel separate from the bigger picture. We worry about our goals, our problems, and our plans. We treat nature, other people, and even our own bodies as objects to manage.But Sadhguru beautifully suggests that everything that comes into being rests in a larger intelligence, and that same intelligence lives inside each of us as the core of our being.
Quote of the day
Creation is in the lap of the Creator, and the Creator is the core of creation
Sadhguru
What does the quote mean?
Sadhguru often describes creation as “that which is”, everything we can see and experience. He calls the Creator “that which is not”, the vast, unseen source from which everything comes. According to the yogi, “the lap of the Creator” is not a physical place.Instead, it is the silent, strong ground of existence where all forms, including people, trees, stars, and thoughts, appear for a while and then fade away.When he says “Creation is in the lap of the Creator,” he means everything is held within this larger intelligence. Nothing exists outside it. When he says “the Creator is the core of creation,” he says that the same source is not distant; it is the innermost essence of every being. The power that turns food into a living body, or soil into a mango tree, is the same power that designed the cosmos.So, instead of seeing yourself only as a small, separate piece of creation, Sadhguru advises us to view ourselves as that very soumeans the same source is not distant;rce of creation that is at your core.
How is this important now?
Today, many people feel disconnected from nature, from each other, and from themselves, amid their busy schedules. Life can feel like a race of tasks and targets, surrounded by notifications. In this context, Sadhguru’s words are relevant because they restore a sense of belonging and meaning; they remind us that we are not accidents, but a significant part of a larger intelligence.But this does not mean that we will stop working hard or making our efforts; it means doing our part while trusting the larger process that supports us.
