On a hot day, while mounting, a hill in order to visit a certain basilica, I was questioning myself why do they always chose such a high place to put churches, monasteries etc?

The first thought that come into my mind was purification.

Of course!

“God whose love and joy
are present everywhere,
Can’t come and visit you
unless you aren’t there.”

Walking 2000 m up the hill, requires a certain intention, strength determination, will. By the moment you reach there, your body may be sweating, you hardly catch your breath, your mind is at ease for dealing with these intense “Practice”.

” Now you are prepared to meet God.”

And for your surprise, God is not hiding in the church. God was all the time inside of you, you were just not capable of feeling, hearing him, experience an infinity part of his presence.
Just sitting on a bench, on the grass, taking a big inhale, appreciating some rest, you see beauty everywhere, in silence, in a sandwich, in a cup of water.

Happy to have reach your target, no matter how many times you wanted to stop, with some effort and discipline, and a certain purification of body and mind, the mind gets empty, you don’t think about work, about your fight with your parents or friends, about the rent, car or school.

Just a breath of fresh air and some freedom to replace all that was occupying your mind. Some time for you and God, the pleasure of a silent mind, overwhelmed by the sensations in the body, the “rest” you where longing for so long.

“God…can’t come and visit you, unless you aren’t there” It is not about your home, it is about the temple “My body is a temple”, it s about your mind.

How can anything come in, while you are so full of your own ideas, your mind is so busy thinking and in a constant meditation keeping intact your  precious identity?

¹⁹ Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; ²⁰ you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. Corinthians 6:19-20

So that silence and love and peace, you are experience every time you are doing an effort, that discipline, touching the limitations of the body, practicing yoga, you are more in touch with the holy spirit, the spirit, god, the universe, call it whatever you want, it is the experience that maters not the name.

This is the reason for a pilgrimage, for different rituals before “meeting god”, walking for 1000 km with an intention.

Wherever you find yourself on the earth there are different approaches to this.

Muslim, Buddhist, catholic, orthodox, any kind of religion or beliefs they all talk about a purification before conception, love, eating, walking, meeting god, any activity.

Now yogis discover this just some thousands of years before, experiencing the Holy Spirit on daily basis rather than to put everything on FAITH.

They don t need to travel for thousands of km, they just sit on a mat, on a stone, either in meditation, or preparing the body trough asanas or other forms of practice, for the next step in their evolution.

***Jesus captured trying to explain how to hold the finger when you practice “anulom vilom”, pranayama. He just chose index finger-pointing finger on the forehead 🙂 something to do with third eye :)), probably he was a monk or a yogi, his clothes and what he preaches sounds like Asia***—-just a possibility… 

“Some people talk about peace and spirit, as the goal of their existence, in yoga this is fundamental to a daily life.”

There are rituals before everything.

Probably this is one of the reasons we are the way we are today, we have forgotten how to respect the “spirit” in everything.

Japenese : Shinto tradition of purifying the body and mind before meeting others.

“Purify yourself before meeting others.” You don t want to bring your dirt, your clouded mind, you negative emotions into someone else’s life. This is seen as a duty, not as an optional task.

So the first thing before you eat, before you do anything, do yoga, pray, or any form of practice or ritual, that reminds you of your place in this world and respect your body, because it s trough the body that you experience this life.

If it s pain you experience lifting your body from the ground, no matter how many beautiful words you put, it will not feel better, so probably you slept to much,or your muscles are atrophying and you are in lack of physical activity – trough the prism of the body we experience life.

Your life is not about being a banker, or a husband, or a boyfriend or anything else. But being a spirit in touch with God, which is fundamental before you engage yourself in any other activity.

‘The world is a bridge, pass over it, but build no houses upon it. He who hopes for a day, may hope for eternity; but the world endures but an hour. Spend it in prayer for the rest is unseen.’

Nobility is not being better than someone else, is being better than your former self, and this is how you should spend your life, in being noble.

It seems wherever I get I hear more about this: Just be receptive. Empty yourself in order to become more. You’re so full of yourself and your own ideas that nothing new can come in.

In order to become everything, you have to become nothing first.

This is yoga to me, more receptivity, more awareness.

But why? Why is it so important? Why everybody talks about this?

While having a speech, Sadhguru observed someone  was trying to write every single word he was uttering. His reaction was “You don’t need to write these things down. Just be with me, here ,now. Be with me and you will learn everything.”

Swami Vivekananda it is said to get his name because of his receptivity. He could hold a book in between his palms and know everything about it.

A Tibetan monk with whom I was spending time with, was just sitting next to me and talking about the thoughts I was having in my mind. He was “reading me”.

Some people read your past. Just by connecting to you. They know things only you know.

You pay them, and think they are supernatural powers. You are afraid of them, because you don’t understand how it works.

Is this a power? Is this mysticism, magic?

We call magic and spirituality everything we don’t understand.

You also hold this powers in you. You just have to develop them. Did it ever happen to you that you were sitting next to a person and just start singing a song and the person next to you said “Omg I was just having the same song the whole day in my head”

Did it ever happened to you that you start talking about something and the person next to you said “Wow this is what I needed to hear, I didn’t talk with no one about it, but you just start speaking about the subject that was going into my head.”

After a Saturday class I was just sitting and talking with a person and she was telling me “People sometimes talk about a pain in their hand, but they don’t know that pain can come from their foot. People heal the symptoms but rarely the sources.”

I was overwhelmed everything I used to speak about she was just using the same kind of language and references. I just started smiling and ask her “Where did you read these things?”

“I don’t know, I don’t remember, from everywhere, no place in specific.”

It just hit me. I remembered Sadhguru talking with someone about world economics. He never read a book on it or knew the terminology of words in this field, but he was talking like a god of economics.

The person next to him was astonished “How do you know this? This is my life study, how can you have access to this kind of information?! Without reading 1 book”

“I m just picking this things out of you! :)) I don’t have the time to read this nonsense.”

This was exactly the case “Just be with me. No writing down, and you ll know everything.”

Just be receptive and open minded and everything will come. All the information is there, you are just an antenna picking things out form this place called Oneness, Consciousness where all information sits.

Just sitting next to someone and being receptive. You learn more than words can bring to you.

But why this is not always happening? How come is just by accident sometimes?

It is said that every 90 min at least for 1 your both hemispheres are balanced. You get a break from stress and some peace of mind. And when the mind is quiet and you stop being full of your own ideas, the universe can do its work with you. You have a glimpse of something, an epiphany. “You allow God in.”

In order to get an “update” you should stop all “applications” and restart for the new program to function.

Practicing yoga, you develop this ability and it happens more often, until you can control it and allow it to happen regularly, or live constantly in it.  Yoga is a technology. Is like advanced math.

This plus that plus this = that. You do this and this and this and you get that. Healing the body, prevention of sickness, fitness of the body, these are just scratching the surface of this technology.

It is accidental because you are not yet in control of it. People are influencing you, by their action, by their thoughts and you still think it s you. Just looking at something you get influenced, not only by thought but by emotions.

You can be perfectly in shape. Your mind is still. Emotions pleasant.

Just walking the street. You tap without wanting in everybody’s mind and  chaos :)) And you add this to you, you think it s you, but then, how come your mood change? Why? Where did these new thoughts come from?
You have to understand it s not you. It s their energy. Observe yourself more. Yoga is not a thing, happening in a class, 1 h a day.

That is practice. Yoga is a 24 h lifestyle. You’re constantly observing and regulating. Always aware of the body and mind fluctuation. In charge of your own.

There is a beautiful story about this and some more words to add to it. “Behold, like the clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand.” ~ Jeremiah 18:6

There was a couple who used to go to England to shop in the beautiful stores. They both liked antiques and pottery and especially teacups. This was their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. One day in this beautiful shop they saw a beautiful teacup. They said, “May we see that? We’ve never seen one quite so beautiful.”

As the lady handed it to them, suddenly the teacup spoke. “You don’t understand,” it said. “I haven’t always been a teacup. There was a time when I was red and I was clay. My master took me and rolled me and patted me over and over and I yelled out, ‘Let me alone’, but he only smiled, ‘Not yet.'”

“Then I was placed on a spinning wheel,” the teacup said, “and suddenly I was spun around and around and around. ‘Stop it! I’m getting dizzy!’ I screamed. But the master only nodded and said, ‘Not yet.'”

“Then he put me in the oven. I never felt such heat. I wondered why he wanted to burn me, and I yelled and knocked at the door. I could see him through the opening and I could read his lips as he shook his head, ‘Not yet.'” “Finally the door opened, he put me on the shelf, and I began to cool. ‘There, that’s better’, I said. And he brushed and painted me all over. The fumes were horrible. I thought I would gag. ‘Stop it, stop it!’ I cried. He only nodded, ‘Not yet.'”

“Then suddenly he put me back into the oven, not like the first one. This was twice as hot and I knew I would suffocate. I begged. I pleaded. I screamed. I cried. All the time I could see him through the opening nodding his head saying, ‘Not yet.’

” Then I knew there wasn’t any hope. I would never make it. I was ready to give up. But the door opened and he took me out and placed me on the shelf. One hour later he handed me a mirror and I couldn’t believe it was me.

‘It’s beautiful. I’m beautiful.'”

“‘I want you to remember, then,’ he said, ‘I know it hurts to be rolled and patted, but if I had left you alone, you would have dried up. I know it made you dizzy to spin around on the wheel, but if I had stopped, you would have crumbled. I knew it hurt and was hot and disagreeable in the oven, but if I hadn’t put you there, you would have cracked. I know the fumes were bad when I brushed and painted you all over, but if I hadn’t done that, you never would have hardened; you would not have had any color in your life. And if I hadn’t put you back in that second oven, you wouldn’t survive for very long because the hardness would not have held. Now you are a finished product. You are what I had in mind when I first began with you.'”

I know yoga is hard sometimes and it takes some discipline and pain.

But I’m not yet done with you.

We are doing this together and yet, you are responsible for everything that comes in your path. Your evolution is in your hand. By raising yourself, you raise others. How you tap into someone else mind for information you also bring them your emotions, and your temper. No matter how happy you are, how discipline, how successful, it will come a time when someone will bring you down with their mood their attitude their behavior.

You are equally responsible for you as for other. Yoga is union. Yoga is inclusiveness.

Everybody has to be good in order for this world to be better. So raise yourself and share your sweetness. Share your wisdom share everything that is good and help others raise themselves.

Raise your energies and be stable so all these passing fluctuation don’t affect you to much.

The universe wants to tap into you, but you have to change your frequency. You need to be receptive to it.  Be Open.  Be Inclusive. Just be.

       A comfortable life.

Waking up in a comfortable bed. Comfortable sheets. Comfortable feelings. Driving in a comfortable car. Strong enough to protect me, warm enough so I don t feel cold, fast enough so I can get wherever I want quickly, efficient enough so the fuel it’s not that expensive.

Comfortable work. Comfortable society. Comfortable everything.

But then I want to feel alive. I want an exciting life. I want to feel strong and be disciplined. I want a quiet mind. I want to rule my life.I want change.

But everything is scary. Giving up to the old and throwing yourself into the unknown.

If it where for you to see your whole life that waits ahead, if the future would be all predictable, would you still find it mysterious? Would you still want to keep it, or would you change it?

Where is the beauty in predictable things? 

We were preoccupied for too long to create a safe environment around us. But it seems this environment is putting us to sleep.

Very small steps of evolution or not at all. For when you were born 5 senses were given to you in order to survive, for everything else you had to thrive. You want to play a guitar, or surf, or write poetry, paint, Climb Mountains, run for extended periods of time. No matter which passion or hobby you chose, it came from you getting out from this comfort. Every morning waking up is an effort, getting out of your comfort zone and the difference between mediocre and excellency is a question of how many efforts are you willing to do, how discipline can you get.

You needed a certain effort to achieve everything. A certain discipline and courage. You may think money can buy everything. But they are not buying your discipline. You may be doing a lot of money, but your health and mental state is questionable. Nobody is going to do the abdomens for you, or meditation for you.

It simply does not work like that. You have to do everything for yourself. You may get some help. But the effort is on you. You can be the richest or poorest person on earth, the body doesn’t care, gravity doesn’t care, laws of universe doesn’t care. People with some character will not care, the only ones who will care is those who need something from you, those who see in you a solution, not a human being, a solution.

So after all isn’t a comfortable life that we want?

Yes but with too much comfort gets you lazy, you get in a state from which is hard to make any change. Why would you limit yourself to what you are today. Repeating the same pattern with no awareness will get you bored to death.

Bored enough so you don’t enjoy, but not enough for you to change. Just a pity little life.

Don’t waste all your energy on improving your car, home, bank account because there is no end to it and there is something more in life than that. You will think happiness hides in all these material things. But every time you get something you just want something more.

Improve yourself as a human being.

“So you get your study, you get a family, you raise on this social system, you get a job, you become a CEO, you have millions. Is this the way a human life should be lived like? Is this the pride we take with our life?”

It seems like we are just adding layers upon layers, to protect ourselves. We construct more and more of what we are. Adding more and more impurities and false identities.

We are protecting ourselves from experiencing life, because we don t want to get hurt by it. We don’t want to look like fools, we don’t want our ego to be hurt.

Try making love, while having an astronaut costume on you . In order to enjoy something a certain state of “nakedness” is needed, a certain purification of the body and mind.

Is like we are numb to life, emotions and all the things makes us human.. Too much protection is killing you slowly. We poison ourselves with food, thoughts and actions. You are a dead zombie, experiencing life while losing connection with everything that matters, detaching, not involved into anything.

Swami Muktananda says : ” if you wear shoes everywhere you go the whole earth feels like leather.”

It is not about protection, but rather “getting undress”, losing all these layers you have built around you. Let your humanity experience creation. Taking a cold shower, put yourself to strange situation, be yourself and stop overthinking every single action.

Whenever you’re about of doing something, you have already visualized the outcome of your actions. You cannot see the future. It may be close, but never what you have thought.

Even God has created things step by step, day by day, totally involved in what he was doing, but he took pleasure in them after doing them. Now he can be the only one seeing the future, but even he is always present. He doesn’t say “I will create humans, wait, what is the purpose of this? they will go to hell anyway :))) ”

I don’t think the future is set on stones. I think the future is malleable. This is the right you have and the freedom you were born into. To construct and influence the world in the way you want. So you can also leave a print to this world. Some small contribution. Have good intentions, totally absorbed by what you do, be present in the present 🙂 a more sensitive human being.

And if you think is to hard or to many things to do in order to change, just begin practicing yoga and evolution will happen either you want it or not. The beautiful thing about yoga is that it has patience, he grows slowly on you. When you go to fast she is slowing you down, when is to less it will bring desires for more. But it has patience, waiting for you, for every gift she sends is for whenever you are ready to deal with it.

You can push the body and mind, using different products, but sometimes you are pushing everything to much, for something that the body may not be ready, you are creating a lot of imbalances in the body. Yoga is safe, it waits and it grows.

And whenever you’re prepared and work your way enough, you will get mukti, moksha, liberation, but in between enough glimpses of nirvana to keep you on the track.

Whenever I carry it around 🙂 people are nice and ask me if i m doing any fitness.

Now In my mind thousands of beautiful story begin and want to start speaking about the origins, the implications, the results, the transformation, but I realize their interest sometimes is just to be nice, so I say …. yes is a form of fitness.

How can I tell them that my mat is like an open book, and whenever I am on it, I feel like. I m the pen writing my history, present and future, constantly defining and observing, coming to various conclusions, one more intense than another. Like a dancer on a stage, watched by no-one than himself, performing for himself.

Can I tell them that I cry, laugh, and I got a taste of all my emotions on it, victory and frustration, peace and stress.  

That  this limited space on the mat, is caring me from a melancholic past and a future full of expectation and plans, to the present, and gives me a taste of “what is, rather than, what i want it to be”

“This is enough! just breathing here, feeling my body, colors get brighter, and whatever felt like nothing and boring, before, just gets exciting.”

That my mat is the place where I come every time I get lost in this society. When I have questions, or nothing to do.

When I am just lost, or when i think I’m not. These is the button to press, for a restart. Wherever I was before, or thinking I will go, this is the place where sometimes time stops, where the mind gets quiet or…. quite very loud.

That is the place for me to meditate, or just sit. A place where my mind knows, that once I m in that place everything is fine, once I assume a posture, everything will settle.

A place from where I can get back to loving, and carrying, from which I can be normal again, and sociable, where I gain my trust, and gather my strength.

That is my place, from where I can erase the past and bad choices and start over again.

The place that understands me, the place where there is no judging, the place where I am safe.

The place,  that I have built. Trough discipline and sweat, trough frustration and acceptance, pain and relaxation.

A place where you are never alone, or even if you are, it never feels lonely.

Where I’m meeting million of other people, like me,  being in the same place, doing the same practice and what they’ve found, is the greatest treasure, themselves.

From the top of the mat, same practices, but every time different.

I feel more close to them, than to everything else because, it feels like they were in my skin, and they knew how I feel, and I feel what they felt, and we all are the same.

You are never alone and should never feel lonely.

Today, yesterday or tomorrow there was and always will be someone like you.

You are just like them, you are them, in a different family, society, experiences, time and place.

Whatever you see, is just you exploring a different possibility.

So whoever you see, try not to judge, just wish them luck and an easy heart.

And learn from their stories, mistakes and experiences, with an open mind and heart, and don’t worry they cannot hurt you, and even if they do, you are not either this body or mind, these are just impressions of society and time you are living in.

What you think you are is constantly changing and defining itself.

What you really are cannot be defined, hurt or destroyed. You are infinity taking a shape, in a certain vibration, on a particular dimension, exploring creation.     

Yoga is a shift.

A shift from doing and feeling everything trough the body, rather than the mind.

The body in many culture is also called a vessel of a thousand souls.In the memory of the body, in your DNA is infinitely more information than in the mind. All that the mind knows is whatever kind of impressions it gathered since you were born. But your body has all the information passed down from every ancestor, since the process of life has ever begun.

It is more important to tap into that kind of information, than limit yourself to this one.

If you eat a piece of cake the mind will be very happy, if you drink alcohol or have drugs, the mind is in heaven. But all this activities gives tremendous pain and work for the body to regenerate, creates blockages and all kind of imbalances.

All the mind is doing is responding to impulses, more impulses more pleasure. The mind on its own will never take care of the body, it can go as far as to its own destruction, extinction.

If you overexcite your sensors tastes, food activities etc, your brain will naturally raise all its expectation for you, which is normal. Its threshold for what tasteful food means.

You are watching so much action movies, SF, comedy etc that in order for you to appreciate life it should raise at those standards.

You are eating so complex food in tastes that from only 1 spoon you are tasting the whole universe. The moment you eat a carrot, you don t feel nothing anymore, your sensibility to life is numbed.

You made love, to so many persons and watch so much porn that a kiss means nothing to you anymore. So many magazines, with beautiful people, physically, that all the people around you are ugly.The only way you can fell the world intense enough these days is trough the use of chemicals, artificial life. Because everything else is boring.

Serving the mind for me is like serving the Ego. Serving the body, is like serving the Soul. Your body has many more lessons for you to learn, that anything that the mind can ever teach. The mind should be just a translator, in between you and the material world. Not an authority, just a servant.

So this is the place where the intellect comes. Your discipline, you are the programmer of all your habits and patterns, you are the one who shifts the mind from an animal mind to a human being. To an aware, evolved animal.

Eat a salad, it may not taste that much, but wait for the body to see how it reacts, give it 20 min and see how you feel.

How your stomach feels, how your body feels. How your mind feels.

Listening to the body is like listening to your heart, the body knows what is right, what is proper for you to do or consume.

The mind may feel pretty cool in some big muscles built in a gym with no awareness, because this is what is propagated in society,  but the body feels amazing with strength and flexibility, find the balance in between. It needs space for it, to maintain its proper functionality.You may become as a rock, but there is little functionality to that. You may be big as a mountain but slow as a turtle, and for you, to sustain that body, it takes huge amounts of food, effort and time.

Look at a gymnast. The body is full of vitality, slim and fast, bendy and the range of movement is amazing.

What is the point of anything if not its functionality?

Is like eating, just to eat, no purpose to it. We eat to survive so we can have enough energy for us to explore, observe appreciate this world, help, evolve, enjoy.

Is like the lifestyle of so many. You work so you can survive, but you survive so you can work. All the efforts that you do in your life is to get better to your work that you’re not really enjoying most of the time.

All you are preoccupied is your comfort, bigger home, better car, expensive clothes, the next level in society values.But how much is your mind evolving, your feelings, you as a person, the persons around you?How in touch you are with yourself and your body, how hard it is for you to appreciate what you have already?

Why not the next level of yourself, not the next level on a society scale?

The truth is we always know the good answer to every situation. Either we feel it, either we listen to the body, either we observe nature…Yoga is living through the body. Realizing there is something greater than your mind, and your intellect, and this is the work of the creator itself.

You never go in front of a mirror and say: Overnight I’ll grown nails, and breath, and pump blood…. You just allow for everything to happened, you are so small.

Everything is taken care of, you just don t have to stay against this flow. You should help, try giving a hand to your breath, a rest to your digestive system, some “food” for the mind, some good emotions for the heart.

For me meditation is working with the mind, when you re used with over excitation, to much of everything, you give a restart to your PC. Start everything again from stretch. Stop all the activities you can in your had, and start with a clear mind. Give some peace of rest to the mind.

Start trusting that…

Inside of you there is a higher power,an intellect, which is taking care of everything, all its needed is for you to be aware and don’t stay in its way.

Start devotion, devotion towards creation, towards yourself. Your evolution as a human being is your main concern, when you evolve, everybody evolves.

Folding my new clothes.

I am very careful about my new t-shirt, my new clothes, I take very good care of them, I feel so good in them.

When i dress in something new, i feel new, a new me.

But isn’t it strange? how we act towards the new things, we also act towards people and everything around us?

How beautiful is a relationship in the beginning? You pay a lot of attention, make tremendous sacrifices, for the other person. She/he is like a new t-shirt, the moment you feel you it s getting old , You start paying less attention, when you wear it, when you fold it.

The same you are doing towards your partner and people around you.

Sometimes we take for granted what we have and we need certain practices, or some time away form them, to remind us what we are grateful for.

I think is very important for you to “get bored” out of something, it gives you time and detachment towards that. It makes you question the need, or benefits of something you have in your life.

Sometimes I find myself disconnected, sometimes I get lost into this society. Back into work, making money, having the same mentality as everybody else. In this competition of who gathers more. I become the person that i want to change. 

I question yoga and the practices. I question spirituality and the necessity of it. I question everything. I am not sure anymore of anything in my life.

Now this is a time for contemplation. It is a time for you to analyze. From an detached point of view. Your position. Your place and mentality here now, your needs.

This happens even with the love of your life. You have days when you look at that person and you ask yourself. How did a get here? With this person? It is like i have no feelings for my partner anymore.

Does it mean you need to pack your things and go? Cheat? Or just give it some time and settle back…?

I look at myself and compare it with my former self. I see someone more focused. More energized. Less anxious, more self-love. I see strength. And everything is because of this practices. Sometimes you get less attached to spirituality, because you need more attention to what happens around you. You need to reevaluate your path, the things you appreciate. And why not?… some goals that you’re not very attached to. A direction.

I realize I am human. And I have a human experience. Why would I act like a god and why would I need godly powers?

In an advertise, for yoga, it was written something like “Come and explore this technology that will transform you from ordinary to extra-ordinary. Yoga”

People where coming and after a few days they where telling their master “I don’t feel extraordinary at all.”

The master laugh and said “Well, you got it wrong, I meant I ll make you more ordinary, extra ordinary. Because that’s how you need to be. Only from that place you can appreciate life.”

Why do you want to be superior? Superior to others? What kind of sick person and mentality wants to be superior to someone? Why enjoying the suffering of others?

Don t you find this is sick?

This happens everyday especially in schools, bullying. People are so frustrated that in their frustration they are less concerned on them, but they want others to suffer and they to be good. And not only in schools, in many works environment and social activities.

There are people enjoying listening to other people, about their pain. Because they feel power.”I am better.”

I don t know how a part of society fall into this direction. But it has to do with the herd effect. They trust less on themselves and their only way of feeling better is trough  the pain of others.

There is a beautiful story about  a time when every human being was a god. An old legend says there was a time when all men were gods, but they so abused their divinity that Brahma, the chief god, decided to take it away from them and hide it where it could never be found

Where to hide their divinity was the question. So Brahma called a council of the gods to help him decide.

“Let’s bury it deep in the earth,” said the gods. But Brahma answered,

 “No, that will not do because humans will dig into the earth and find it.”

Then the gods said, “Let’s sink it in the deepest ocean.” But Brahma said

“No, not there, for they will learn to dive into the ocean and will find it.”

Then the gods said, “Let’s take it to the top of the highest mountain and hide it there.” But once again Brahma replied,

“No, that will not do either, because they will eventually climb every mountain and once again take up their divinity.”

Then the gods gave up and said, “We do not know where to hide it, because it seems that there is no place on earth or in the sea that human beings will not eventually reach.”

Brahma thought for a long time and then said, “Here is what we will do. We will hide their divinity deep in the center of their own being, for humans will never think to look for it there.”

All the gods agreed that this was the perfect hiding place, and the deed was done. And since that time humans have been going up and down the earth, digging, diving, climbing, and exploring–searching for something already within themselves.

Now your divinity should not really be a goal. You don’t want that power so you can use them and be better then others. It is the lack of wishing that actually grants your wish.

Only those who are worthy will tap into their divinity. You don t use this to brag. They will be given to you the moment you don t need them, the moment you are extra-ordinary. The moment when who you are, and what you have is perfect and you don t need anything anymore.

The universe is acting like god, god acts like you.    

When you see a beggar asking for something. Sometimes you give them.

Now imagine this scenery.

If the beggar is looking at what you give and makes a funny face as…“you could give more…” your instinct is to get angry and take everything he already has. Ungrateful

If he says “wow this is enough thank you” he raises and walks away because he only needed a little. You want to run after him and give him more. Grateful

When you are in a grateful state, you will naturally just get more.

Yoga is and will be no matter how detached i will feel sometimes. The best practices for me to appreciate life and better myself. The more attention i pay, the more i know, and the more discipline i get, the more is offered.
