Sins – woman brought to Jesus

Some people brought a woman to Jesus and they said, “She has committed adultery, so she has to be killed. And this has been the law — to kill her with stones, by throwing stones at her.”

Jesus said, “The law is true, but only those persons can throw stones at her who have not committed adultery ever — not even in the mind. So come forward only those persons who have not committed adultery, actually or in imagination.”

The crowd had stones; they were standing ready to kill her. But now people started dispersing because there was no one who had not committed adultery in the mind.

Finally, Jesus and the woman were left. The crowd had dispersed. The woman said, “I have done wrong! I am guilty, punish me.”

But Jesus said, “Who am I to punish you? Who am I to punish you or condemn you? It is between you and your God.”

ida-pingala yoga short thoughts

Short version
“don t get lost into too many details…” R.

yoga or doing yoga…
it s not only about the asanas…
there are 8 limbs….only one of them is the asanas…
but in order to be happy you have to satisfy all aspect…
mind…body…soul…everything has to be in one line..
what you say..think and feel….

we are all in search of happiness…
and there is something about the physical practice…
it not only releases the endorphin…the happy cells….
they are aware …intelligent…use tens of trillion of them and you have your body….
but there is something more..than only you can experience…
and just because you re unique .. the feeling it s going to be unique also
like reading..a book…in everyone of us each lecture
awakens something else…
and …we re not learning new..things..
we just remember what already we knew before

we try to create a balance…between ida and pingala..
ida is about our feelings emotions…our feminine side…the moon..
when this part is dominant….we get….to be emotional…to be sad..
to feel too much…and don t enjoy every aspect of life…

pingala is more about … the reality how we put it…”the society”…being logical…mathematical…the sun masculine side.. and this..makes all the magic from this magnificent world to disappear…when is dominant

yoga is about being honest at least to yourself..
we are not saints…
but we are not criminals either…
you will never be happy if we re not complete…
too much control….will bring one day the lost of control…
actions..that put us in a place …that after we leave this place…
we think how could we do that..or be like that..

we have to mix them… sometimes we act…sometimes.. we think..
but no matter what action we take…we re doing what we re supposed to do
is like a path of reaching a mountain…

there are many paths..easy hard…each choice…puts us on another path…

but it s not about the destination..because we ll all reach that..it s about the journey..that …has to be …a beautiful one…

yoga no matter which type of it…is a short path to
…happiness…yourself everything else…
will come ..once we start this journey
….honesty…love…moderation..balance
but you have to pass trough fire… to reach the heavens…
and it s not about god and the devil..hell and heaven…
it s merely an metaphor..

this is no random arrangement…and every choice we where given was already chosen..by us in advance…before we started this life… the only thing to remember..because it seems like we are the “captain of our faith…….”
…is to realize after each choice..that did we put ourselves in …
what s the lesson behind it….what was so important that we need to learn
from each encounter…each person..each “coincidence”….

and it all leads to knowing ourselves better…to understand
different aspects about our personality about our true self…
and be happy because that s the purpose of life….
to love and be grateful for every moment that we experience…

everyday it s the first day of your life..

success trains ….failure complains…
start training..:))

Defeat

Paulo Coelho – Manuscript found in Accra

Does a leaf, when it falls from the tree in winter, feel defeated by the cold?

The tree says to the leaf:

That’s the cycle of life. You may think you’re going to die, but you live on in me. It’s thanks to you that I’m alive, because I can breathe. It’s also thanks to you that I have felt loved, because I was able to give shade to the weary traveler. Your sap is in my sap, we are one thing.’

Does a young man, rejected by his first love, declare that love does not exist?

The young man says to himself: ‘I’ll find someone better able to understand what I feel. And then I will be happy for the rest of my days.’

Losing a battle or losing everything we thought we possessed will bring us moments of sadness, but when those moments pass, we will discover the hidden strength that exists in each of us, a strength that will surprise us and increase our self-respect.

Wait patiently for the right moment to act.

Do not let the next opportunity slip.

Take pride in your scars.

Scars are medals branded on the flesh, and your enemies will be frightened by them because they are proof of your long experience of battle. Often this will lead them to seek dialogue and avoid conflict.

Scars speak more loudly than the sword that caused them.

Present

Albert Camus 

“Real generosity towards the future consists in giving all to what is present”

Failure is important to personal inner-growth, expansion , psychic reward.

Never regret the past, embrace it as your teacher.

awakening

Carl Gustav Jung
“Your path, vision will become clear only when you will look into your heart.
Who looks outside, dreams; Who looks inside, awakens ”

Success trains, failure complains.

Carl Jung ” Your path , vision will become clear only when you look into your heart.
Who looks outside dreams, who looks inside awakens”

Leadership – open the mind – accepting new ideas -be opened

The monk who sold his Ferrari -Robin S Sharma

Spotting the pot of tea I had left on the table next to him, he
started to pour into my waiting cup.

He poured until the cup was full—but then he kept on pouring! Tea started to trickle down the sides of the cup and into the saucer, then onto my wife’s prized
Persian rug.

At first I watched silently. Then I couldn’t take it any more.

“Julian, what are you doing? My cup is overflowing. No matter
how hard you try, no more will go in!” I yelled impatiently.

He looked at me for a long moment. “Please don’t take this the
wrong way. I really respect you, John. I always have.

However, just like this cup, you seem to be full of your own ideas. And how
can any more go in. . . until you first empty your cup?”

I was struck by the truth of his words. He was right. My many
years in the conservative legal world, doing the same things every
day with the same people who thought the same thoughts every
day had filled my cup to the brim.

trying to fit in

“Admit it. You aren’t like them. You’re not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider, watching the “normal people” as they go about their automatic existences. For every time you say club passwords like “Have a nice day” and “Weather’s awful today, eh?”, you yearn inside to say forbidden things like “Tell me something that makes you cry” or “What do you think deja vu is for?”. Face it, you even want to talk to that girl in the elevator. But what if that girl in the elevator (and the balding man who walks past your cubicle at work) are thinking the same thing? Who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on conversation with a stranger? Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others.”

Know your universe

Start knowing where you live:

“We are back where we started

Home… only now, we can really know it

Fragile… destined to die swallowed by a dying Sun

But we shouldn t despair, we should rejoice

We managed to experience the wonders of the Universe
We should celebrate our achievements

Enjoy our moments in the Sun”

Embrace the energy that give and take life.

Celestial powder

We start our life as a rough diamond, celestial powder from the Cosmos.

It is sad, that some people don’t realize that, and they end up their human experience still as a rough diamond.
All the experiences we take in life is Mouldering – polishing – carving our impurities.

The more we suffer, we endure, more we open our mind and try to change the perspective we see the world, taking every person as a teacher, every experience as a lesson… “more carats the better”.

We don t have to be all alike, different, craziness is a good thing.

Be different , know your true self.

Beauty is relative but it seems like we all have the same notion of love, kindness and this is who we are born and supposed to be.
“Everything in nature is enlightened, because they are acting according to their nature…..only for the human being, it seems he dosen t accept his nature” Roshan

Difficulties appears when we use the mind, the mind it s conflict,duality, fluctuations it s a programed machine. But we can use our soul to change it, breath, yoga to our betterment.

“Strong unique identity ” Roshan said.

And if you think about it…what s true happiness than just being yourself and being loved and accepted for who you are. The sense of belonging. The higher point in Maslow pyramid.

The answer to everything is love. Stop questioning everything and take a deep inhale. And bring yourself to the present the only thing that matters.

Namaste
