A Yogi

A Yogi

Who is a Yogi? One who is not a Bhogi. One who is not always harping on things outside.

A Yogi is one who is resting in the being; uniting with the self. One who is equanimous come what may. When pleasant things come a yogi does not get too excited and jump to the sky and when unpleasant things happen he doesn’t drown into the ditch. He just remains equanimous.

A Yogi is also one who is skillful; who has skill in speech and in action. Who knows the skill to retire and be quiet and the skill to be in activity with dynamism.

======================

Don’t you give your car for servicing, after driving it for too long? Meditation is taking your mind to the garage, for servicing.

======================

You are a combination of the form and the formless. In the same way, the entire creation is the manifested form of the Divine, though He is formless. Consciousness is formless and the manifest creation in nature has form.

======================

When you speak the truth, then a great power dawns within you. When you speak lies, then even the muscles of your body lose all their strength. Honesty is a power in itself.

======================

If your mental health is good and you feel strong and wise, you can keep everybody happy.

This World is Transit Lounge

You know, in airports and railway stations there are lounges, and in a lounge, what do you do?

You keep your luggage and start eating. You use the bathroom and freshen-up; but you don’t open your suitcase and hang your clothes all over the place.

You don’t do that in a transit lounge. You keep your things packed.

So this world is just a transit lounge. Don’t mistake it to be your home.

Om Namah Shivay
