Yoga is Like an Ocean
Yoga is like an ocean. So first doing yoga gets you ready (to know of the higher truth). If you are miserable, you do yoga to get out of your misery and this is first step.
The second is, if you are very restless or very unhappy, yoga brings you that equanimity.
The third step, it helps you to attain skills that you do not have, because it is action which brings you happiness or sorrow. And if you are skillful in action, then your action will only bring you happiness, or less misery.
So for what are you doing yoga, you to decide?
There is a fourth step to yoga, which is to take you to the ultimate knowledge. Yoga teaches how to meditate, how to sit straight and do pranayama and be immersed in consciousness.
======================
Transformation can happen only through education, and education can only happen if you have accepted people and understood their position and predicament and create a space for them to grow.
======================
First purpose is to find out the purpose of life. Once you find it then relax
======================
What is Gayatri Mantra?
Guruji: It is composed of 24 syllables and reciting it positively affects each of the 24 vertebrae in the back. More importantly, it means - bring noble thoughts from all directions. It is actually an expansion of the sound OM.
======================
This entire creation is motivated, sustained or produced by desire. It is desire that sustains this creation, isn't it? It is the desire to reproduce, the desire to survive, the desire to grow, which is quite natural.
Om Namah Shivay
