Sometimes I am so upset in life; I think I should take up Yoga.

Yoga is not done by a despondent heart; it has to be done by a glad heart.

Despondence due to life situations is almost always temporary. It is like a wave that touches and torments us awhile and then passes away. Besides sooner or later the tide of time changes and draw us back into the arms of what has made us upset.

Yoga is done when we understand, not just intellectually but in our heart as well that all is too little that the world can give, that all its gifts are temporary and transient that can at best appease us for a while but cannot satisfy the thirst and the deepest seekings and the highest aspiration of man.

Affectionately,

Alok da.

The child in your wife’s womb seems to be a special soul. Is she on some path or has an Ista devata? The sense of stopping of breathing in dreams is not uncommon and there is nothing to worry

I’m under a lot of pressure to get married. I feel very, very, very lost. My parents have passed on a few contacts, and I have been talking to those guys. There is nothing wrong with these guys – in fact, they’re quite kind, mature, understanding and qualified, and one of them has a good depth of thought process and they are very interested in me. 🧑🏻‍🤝‍👩🏻🌹😫[…]

I think you are mixing several things, especially two very different things. The first and most important is what you should do with your life. In other words, what is your aim, the purpose of your life. There is a place for everyone, a place that we alone can occupy but to find that place we must find the purpose.
