Destined for a Divine Christmas

Fearlessness
A pure-thinking heart
Staying on the yoga path of wisdom
Always giving generously
Control of the senses
A desire to study scriptures
Discipline
Straightforwardness
Not causing pain to others
Truthfulness
Always peaceful
Selflessness
Never speaking falsely of others
Compassion for all beings
Not coveting what others have
Gentleness; Modesty
Full of vigor
Always forgiving
Courageous in adversity
Pure of body and mind
No hatred toward anyone
And never puffed up with pride.

These are the qualities,
Arjuna, of a man or woman
destined for a divine life.

AND A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Even though the list is a long one, if you develop even one of these qualities to the fullest extent, automatically you see the other qualities coming. Let any one lead; the others will follow because they are all links in a chain.
Bhagavad Gita 16.1-3

LET IT GO

LET IT GO

LET IT GO...


"To have what we truly want, we need to first let go of everything we don't want... self-imposed limits, constrictions, social conditioning, learned helplessness, beliefs that no longer serve us. In the space and clarity that remain, we will experience all the abundance that life has to offer us in the present moment. We will realize we are in the flow of pure abundance and always have been."

Training the Mind

'When the mind is withdrawn from the sense objects, the sense organs also withdraw themselves from their respective objects and, thus, are said to imitate the mind. If the senses are allowed to see outside, they try to grasp pictures of the outside world. If they are turned inward, they will see the purity of the mind and won't take the color of the world outside."
