Right now, your problem is that you suffer from what happened 10 years ago, and you suffer from what may happen the day after tomorrow. Both are not living truths. They are simply a play of your memory and imagination. Does this mean, then, that in order to find peace, you must annihilate your mind? No. It simply means you need to take charge of it.”

These words are from the intro to the book Inner Engineering: A Yogi’s Guide to Joy, by the Indian guru Sadhguru. It’s a subject close to the heart of Mamela Luthuli, founder of cybersecurity and IoT group Take Note IT, and the winner of the Institute of IT Professionals South Africa’s IT Personality of 2023.
