ONLY ONE THING

What to say on a blog about yoga. You can say many things but really why miss any opportunity to say exactly that. Without ways around and about. Right to the point. Yoga means freedom. To be your true self and everything else comes from that.
You can do your asana but if the purpose is not to be free and your true self (same thing) you are not getting the real deal :-). Any yoga class that does not remind you to look inside, to see, to confirm is selling you short. Yoga is not about becoming more flexible and lean, it is about remembering that you are a free being- beyond anything that you can put a name to, a concept or a limitation. If you have not found this urge inside your being this is all I want to share with you. Forget about bringing the belly to the thighs in forward bends or crossing your legs in lotus. All of this comes automatically once you start looking inside. Your perfect being does not need to even learn these things, it already knows it.

There are some beings for whom it is clear that this life is only for freedom.
Freedom means what? Freedom beyond even the concept of freedom. That urge is burning in them. And the urge is to remove the idea that I am not free. And then one more step: to remove even the idea of freedom. To that pure innocence.
All you need to find out is: who is watching all of this? And don’t put any assumptions to this. Don’t say I think, I think. Find out. When you find out, then, everything will become quiet for you: You don’t have to worry about the future, you don’t have to be living in the past. You don’t have to be vigilant in the present. You are that. You are that in whose presence time appears and passes. Thoughts appear and pass. Emotions appear and pass. Everything is floating like clouds in the sky. There are no footprints. Nothing that stays and interferes with your pure being, the uninterrupted happiness that is your true nature. All the sensations all time space memory intellect, ideas, they are floating in your being just like that.
You are like the infinite sky.
Who can hold the sky? Catch it? Hinder it? Define it? Put restrictions on it?
You will know this. And everything becomes a play that you watch from above. You can play, continue your daily affairs but they will not leave any footprints.
There is not need to study or learn, rehearse repeat, repeat, just look. Just look. Keep looking, bring it into your heart and trust what you find, work with it. Make it your own truth.
All you need to find out is who is watching all of this? You are that. You are that in whose presence time appears and passes. Thoughts appear and pass, emotions appear and pass. Everything is floating like clouds in the sky. All the sensations, all time, space, memory, intellect, ideas, they are floating in your being just like that. You are like the infinite sky. It is all you need to know.
