| 2. Depth of Scriptural Integration | 10/10 Heavy, explicit referencing† of Quran, Bible, Gita, Devi Gita, and Sikh texts. |
6.5/10 Scriptural reference is minimal—teaching flows primarily from yogic insight and Sadhguru’s expression. |
| 3. Universality & Interfaith Reach | 10/10 Boldly merges teachings from Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, and mysticism into one unified spiritual truth. |
