So this blog is not meant for anyone to read. If you firmly believe in the method you follow, in what you do and you think your qualified to teach or help or you have a Guru please stop here
What I am about to say might offend you I don’t meant it in any disrespect. However, a delusional person gets upset when he is told he can’t travel to the Himalayas in his ( non existent ) plane
You will say but my method has helped me. And it is true. It has helped you. And I bow to thee for that.
Let’s say you go to a weekend yoga class. You come back feeling refreshed. Feel great. Why did you feel wonderful? Surely the technique was effective. In many instances it helped because
- No cell phone. People not bothering you
- Meals prepared. Not much work to do
- Your mind has told you – mediation is effective. Thousands of people vouch for it And your thinking your doing yoga. So you feel happy. Elated. Successful. Proud. Of course your going to feel better. Your mind ego was stroked.
The list can longer. However, your still very much in the clutches of maya and ego. A set of conditions in the world was satisfied. You feel good
But that is all fake
The great saints had a different kind of happiness. Even disease. In physical pain. In people hurting them. Insulting them. They were supremely happy. Because they had connected to the real source of joy. God. Within. Not based on anything external
Let this be a lesson. If you can feel Joy. Even though you know all external circumstances are inimical to you. Then you have started yoga. Did I say started? Yes I meant started. Until then, we are still learning the technique.
And that by itself is very good. Learning since you are slowly learning that the mind is a devious traitor.
