Why do we refer to the mind as a circus? A circus is not a mess; a circus is a very coordinated activity deliberately made to look like a mess. On one level it is a mess, but on another, it is a highly coordinated activity.
To rise above the modifications of your mind, when you cease your mind, when you cease to be a part of your mind, that is yoga.
But when it comes to the inner situation, there is only one ingredient: you. At least you must happen the way you want.
One should use information and logic as a drunkard would use a lamp post, only for support, not for illumination.
The logic is simple: if you do the right things, the right things will happen to you even without your intent.
Our lives become beautiful not because of what we do, our lives becomes beautiful simply because we have included everybody around us as a part of our dream of well being.
Most people are investing their whole lifetime just for their material well-being. Dying to live, this is called.
Renunciation, or refusing to identify with that which one gathers (however precious it may be), is the ultimate doorway to knowing.
Whatever has been the highest experience in your life should become the centerpiece around which your life is structured.
By consciously getting your body into a certain posture, you can also elevate your consciousness, you can change the very way you feel, think, understand, and experience life simply by sitting in a particular way.
Resentment, anger, jealousy, pain, hurt, and depression are poisons that you drink but expect someone else to die. Life does not work that way. Most people take lifetimes to understand this simple truth.
