Meet 98 year old Dobri Dobrev, a man who lost his hearing in the second world war. Every day he walks 10 kilometers from his village in his homemade clothes and leather shoes to the city of Sofia, where he spends the day begging for money.

Though a well known fixture around several of the city’s churches, known for his prostrations of thanks to all donors, it was only recently discovered that he has donated every penny he has collected — over 40,000 euros — towards the restoration of decaying Bulgarian monasteries and the utility bills of orphanages, living instead off his monthly state pension of 80 euros.

“Stiffness is a companion in death, flexibility it s a companion in life”

“Wisdom is knowing i am nothing,love is knowing i am everything,and in between        the two my life lies”

I was wondering if i where to chose 1 thing from this world and if i ll ever become shipwrecked at sea what would i chose to take with me…

The first thing that came in my mind was my mat.

I could spend between 300-700 years of yogi life always improving my practice..:) and living in meditation until someone will find me and i will share all the wisdom I’ve acquired 🙂

She is always there when i need her, makes no comments, no judgements.
Loves me unconditionally, respecting my space
Nourishing my body mind and soul
We share such great feelings every day..:)

I, M. Samy , take you, my yoga-mat “The tree of life” , to be my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.

A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they’d be asked the “half empty or half full” question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: “How heavy is this glass of water?”

Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.

She replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it’s not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.”

She continued, “The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything.”

Remember to put the glass down.

I wouldn’t coax the plant if I were you.
Such watchful nurturing may do it harm.

Let the soil rest from so much digging
And wait until it’s dry before you water it.

The leaf’s inclined to find its own direction;
Give it a chance to seek the sunlight for itself.

Much growth is stunted by too careful prodding,
Too eager tenderness.

The things we love we have to learn to leave alone.

The mantra of the Ego is ” MORE…More more more ”

We get bombarded of this idea on having more and having that, and if you don t have it you fell you re incomplete.

When:
You came from nowhere-having nothing, and you re going nowhere-having nothing.

A great teacher said : “The only thing you will carry with you from this life to another is your level of understanding”

Lao Tzu said “When your cup is full, stop pouring”

“If you realize that you have enough you are truly rich”

Just say “Thank you” even if it s the only thing you ll say.
