Integration
Thinking, feeling and willing - they seem to run in different directions.
Integrate them and you have yoga in action.
Action
Understanding alone is not enough - it is like trying to fly on one wing, which is impossible..
Similarly, action alone is not enough either - understanding is the other wing.
History
The life and death struggles of heroes are dismissed with a few brief sentences in a history book.
Division
The first person pronoun "I" may itself be nothing more than an idea. However, as soon as this idea arises, it creates you, the other person, the second person, the he, she, and it, the third person. From this division flows an interminable stream of worry, anxiety, fear and hate.
How does one put an end to this? By realizing that you are the stream. The moment you realize that, the menace has ceased.
Responsibility
I followed Swami Sivananda implicitly, and I am glad to have done so.
No doubt, He asked me to do things, and I did them because I knew it was right to do them.
The responsibility was mine all the time.
