Dear World,
In your meditation today...
May your body be still and comfortable...
May your head, neck and trunk be aligned...
May your breath be smooth, slow serene and with no pauses...
May the flow of thoughts in your mind not disturb you...
May your meditation today bring you,
Peace, happiness and bliss...
I pray thus for myself and also my fellow students of yoga at the centre. But...my feet don't pay any heed to my fervent prayer...they sleep everyday, during pranayama and meditation... my head swims with thoughts...joints and muscles which I had no clue existed in my body, ache...But I am keeping on...Remembering the only lesson in Sanskrit from school days that I can recall, "Udyamena Hi Sidhdhyanti Kaaryani, Na Manorathe, Na Hi Supthasya Singhasya Mukhe Pravishyanthi Mrigah" which means, All can be attained only through hard work, the deer doesn't walk into a sleeping lion's mouth. And Swami says things will improve with time and continuous practice...
I hope so...
Swami also said one more thing: All the fat from the human body if taken out will only be enough to make one bar of washing soap!
So, trying not to be proud of only the fat on my body...
Your's loving
Anu
