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.

Dream of my grandmother who passed away 10 months ago. Today (13th April is her birthday and she would have celebrated her 90th anniversary). Weirdly, she appears in my dreams almost every day even though I don’t consciously think about her. When she was alive she was extremely attached to me. Today’s dream (on her birthday):We were at her house in the village. My dad and everyone else were there. Suddenly, she went out of the house for a walk and disappeared. Nobody could find her for many hours. We thought it’s the end. Late in the evening, I decided to do an experiment: i went outside and shouted her name from the top of my voice. And from somewhere far away I could hear her response. What does this mean?💭🌜💤

From the early 30s, almost all Friendships (Female) from School and Bachelor’s have come to an end. There were times when I had a misunderstanding and apologized, but it never led to a true understanding. 👩🏼🌷👨🏼🍃[…]

Yes, your observation is quite true. It is partly because of the strong individualistic tendencies in Europe whereas a strong tendency to hold to the societal norms and standards in Asia. In India the difficulty is even greater ….
