Sadhguru presented a refined guide for self-empowerment based on the teaching and principles of classical yoga. According to him, this system helps create a framework of inner stability to those who become engineers of a joyful life. Sadhguru said that in his signature book, he narrated the personal experiences and deep insights that have transformed his own life and consciousness. More than that, he spoke to audience about some procedures for personal transformation that are drawn from the venerable teachings of his yogic masters who still continue to inspire him. He stated that throughout the ages, many spiritual leaders tried to find answers to the questions: ‘Who are we?' and 'What is our purpose of life?' in their own ways while his contemporary Inner Engineering is a loving reinforcement to live our best lives and a profound reassurance of why and how we can achieve this. Sadhguru’s speech also offered simple instructions to the audience on how to improve one’s experience and the quality of life along with spiritual awakening, thus creating joy.
