Yoga is a Technology for Transformation: 🔨📐
"Everything that human beings can do is essentially an expression of who they are. Someone sings a song, someone dances, someone writes a book, someone paints a picture. You may be conscious of it or not, but everything that you say and do is essentially an expression of who you are.
Yoga is diametrically opposite to this because it is not an expression of who you are; it is about determining who you are; it is about changing the very fundamentals of one’s existence. Today there is substantial medical and scientific evidence to show that the very fundamentals of the activity of your brain, your chemistry, and even your genetic content can be changed by practicing different systems of Yoga. This needs no confirmation because we have always witnessed this, but today there is scientific data to prove this.
If you find full expression through any particular activity, it may also leave you somewhat transformed. If you cook, sing, or dance with all your heart, some transformation may happen. That is only a certain impact that is happening because of absolute involvement in a particular activity, but essentially that activity by its nature is an expression of who you are, not determining the nature of who you are. But Yoga is not an expression, it is a technology through which you can change the shape of who you are – both literally and otherwise."

"The word “Kashi” literally means to be luminous, or more particularly, a tower of light. Mark Twain said that Kashi is older than legend. Nobody can ever decipher the date of this place. When Athens was not even thought of, Kashi was. When Rome did not even exist in people’s minds, Kashi was. When Egypt did not exist, Kashi was. It is that ancient, and it was built as an instrument in the form of a city, which brings a union between the “micro” and the “macro” – this little human being can have the phenomenal possibility of uniting with the cosmic reality and knowing the pleasure, ecstasy and beauty of becoming one with the cosmic nature."

Forests are such rich and diverse ecosystems; there is no substitute for them. We must protect what is there and bring other Land under Shade to whatever extent possible.

Is there something wrong with the duality? Without duality, there is no creation. It is only because of these opposites that creation happened. But to be trapped within the duality is the problem. If one is limited to the duality, one does not know the beyond. It becomes a great limitation in your life. Duality is the source of all the pleasures in the world.
If there were no opposites, there would be no pleasures. At the same time, duality is the source of all suffering in the world. It is only because of these opposites that man suffers. Caught in this “pleasure and pain” experience of life, people do not become wise with life, they become wounded by it.
They are not able to handle this duality, nor are they able to transcend it. Seeing the limitation that it is, one needs to go beyond that.
