Yoga in Action

I came across of a note I have written early this year in my journal. These are simple lessons I learned in India. Given the milieu there, this i realize...

I will always be yoga in action.

Meditate on how you would like to make a difference today..........

In a simplest manner maybe do a friendly gesture to a stranger.

Pick up a certain chore at home even if you feel that it is not for you to do.

When you see litter around, try not to wait for someone to do it for you, instead, do it yourself.

Spend time talking with an elder being and you will find out how much a conversation means to them.

If you have left over food at home find someone who can eat it.

Don't prepare too much food that would only go to waste.

Clean your surroundings.

Be sensitive to the feelings of others. Ask them how they feel today.

Recycle.

Conserve energy and water

Make time to play with children or buy them ice cream or little stuff that they like. (to my opinion, all children likes ice cream) They would only be little once.

And the list goes on and on.

YOGA is not just all about asanas. Asana (Postures) is just the 3rd part among the 8 limbs. Close your eyes and find what is real in you. Yoga in its simplest form is self realisation. Yoga in action... reach out... do something... be a part of the whole and others... this is reality.... see and be aware. Little by little you will find your ego dissolves and its essence being shared to a higher purpose.
