Guest guest Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Namaste, I find this interesting in as much as many of us are hypocrites. We claim we don't do this or that and rationalise. For example stealing doesn't just mean taking a product it covers everything from doing just that to not reporting lost time to an employer, or misappropriating people's land in the case of wars and States. I feel that following just one of these perfectly will achieve them all. It is all about cleansing samskaras in the mind to enable realisation to occur..One being left intact will prevent realisation..IMHO........ONS...Tony. Yama - Restraint. The five Don'ts of Yoga: Yamas 1. Ahimsa - non-violence, non-injury, harmlessness; 2. Aatya - truthfulness, honesty; 3. Asteya - non-stealing, honesty, non-misappropriateness; 4. Brahmacharya - continence; 5. Aparigraha - non-possessiveness, non-greed, non-selfishness, non- acquisitiveness Niyama - Observance. The five Do's of Yoga: 1. Shaucha - purity, cleanliness; 2. Santosha - contentment, peacefulness; 3. Tapas - austerity, practical (i.e., result-producing) spiritual discipline; 4. Swadhyaya - self-study, spiritual study; 5. Ishwara Pranidhana -offering of one's life to God Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
