Its been a year and half that i have been actively doing yoga. Thought i should write something about it. The common essence of many spiritual books from the gita to the bible and gurus from patanjali to contemporary leaders like eckhart tolle and nityananda is that you become conscious of your consciousness by quietening your mind. Mind seems to be the source of all evils and once you conquer that your life flows in . This seems to be common theme. I see myself becoming calm, peaceful caring and loving at the end of each yoga session. Ultimately all you are ever going to have is this very moment. Past which you cannot change and future which you cannot predict. So the challenge is to be present every moment fully without judgement. It becomes easy during your yoga classes but its not when you are away. But whenever i apply this in whatever i do iam calm peaceful and serene. Just letting go of the results seems to fulfill me with so much energy which i would have otherwise spent worrying about the results. Example - working on a problem at work - when i constantly sit and cram my brain for a solution it does not come to me, but when i let go and be silent things flow in. What a paradox. Just so speaks against the conventional wisdom that we are usually thought. Hard work and effort has no meaning when you sink in to the present moment and be conscious of what we do. But i am extremely happy that i have found the practice of yoga to hone this skill.
