Emotions and the Yoga Connection

The senses have always been condemned as the source of all troubles and distractions, - however they are the source of distinction. Without them we would not know shape, taste colour size etc. The real culprit is the mind. It has the capacity to be drawn and repelled by events. The senses give an opportunity to witness the order of creation at every opportunity. The mind often resists.

The only place the universe can be out of balance is in the mind of the human.

Unknown to our conscious state, there are moments when we experience great relief. Sleep is that moment - when all turbulence of the mind is extinguished, and the mind is the link to the creator.

Flexibility is necessary for progress. Where the ‘why’ is big enough the ‘hows’ take care of themselves. Great inspirations are those of a divine nature. Seeking achievement and smaller goals leads always to the exhaustion of motive.

One who knows the intensity and strength of the creator is rare. It is beyond faith and law, it is a knowing beyond all knowing. It is a certainty that, for those who experience it is beyond words.

When this individual leaves the state of oneness he can return through specific means to see the order, content and character as it was created. There are no flaws. The earlier calculated perceptions of good and bad are transcended and replaced by a perception that only one who is near God can achieve.

Complete happiness is illusive to the vast majority. Despite knowing that the only source of this happiness is in the oneness with the creator, many try to achieve it elsewhere. Wealth, fame, children, success and the removal of disease and worry - even after all these are achieved, complete happiness is absent. The objects of desire are unfulfilling once received and the reason being that these temptations are one sided in their appeal.

There is no greater power than the power that created mankind and the earth he or she inhabits. Even though on the pinnacle of their state, they must stay focussed and take care that they don’t lose their balance and fall - a surety if they should try to oppose the natural forces of life.
