    can love last a lifetime?

    image

    No it can’t. Love doesn’t last, it has a very quick expiration date. Yesterday’s love has gone stale. Tomorrow’s love is not yet ripe. Only the love of today, of this moment, is drinkable.

    But every day you wake up, it is always today. There is always fresh love. 

    Don’t cling to love and try to force it into space and time, stringing it out to last like a shadow of what it once was when it was fresh. Love is to be found Here and Now or nowhere else. 

    Let go of yesterday’s love and tomorrow’s expectation. The moment is the only eternity that exists. When you can find love in the moment, regardless of what the moment contains, then you will know the meaning of eternal love. 

    Then it doesn’t just last a lifetime. It lasts for all Existence, endlessly into the future, the past, and the present. 

    Namaste :) Much love.

    To be a Yogi, You Must be a Warrior

    To make enlightenment unabashedly your aim in life, you must walk the path like a warrior. This means becoming effortlessly impeccable. Your life may depend on it. 

    image

    You know what it means to be a warrior.

    You don’t remember? You knew it long ago…but I’ll refresh your memory. 

    1) A warrior is humble. 

    Unlike earthly humility, the warrior does not lower himself and venerate another. Knowing Death, the warrior understands that no one thing is more important than another. Just as the scientist knows it’s all a play of quarks and emptiness. In this respect, the warrior bows to no one and allows no one to bow to him. 

    2) A warrior is fearless. 

    A warrior is dead to the world of men. “The saint is awake when the world sleeps, and he ignores that for which the world lives.” ~ Bhagavad Gita. Because a warrior knows death, he understands the folly of our very existence. His concerns dwell on the fringes of eternity and are bafflingly irrelevant to the world. He knows how to make himself inaccessible and keep the world from draining him dry. 

    3) A warrior is focused.

    A warrior doesn’t become morbidly obsessed about his death. He does not abandon himself to despair and existential lethargy. Conversely, he understands that it is always the time to act. Because he knows that death is always stalking him, he never does anything half-assed. 

    Cultivate these qualities and the Path can become frictionless. 

    Namaste, sangha.

    YOEDDIE: Yoga Heals Prisoners

    yoeddie:

    I read a fascinating article today about how yoga is helping with the problem of overcrowding in prisons. The prisons are so full that life in them equates to cruel and unjust punishment. The reason for the overcrowding is the high recidivism rate. In other words, because prisoners are not…

    Three small words for you. YOU ARE LOVED. It may not feel like it you may not even love yourself right now but the truth is you are loved. You are God’s beloved. Meditate on that today.

    AnnYorkYoga: Yoga - body wrecker or cure-all?

    The NY Times article “How yoga can wreck your body” quickly jumped to the top of the most emailed list, and serves as a counter-point to recent articles on the benefits of yoga for health and back pain.
