Guest guest Posted August 30, 2000 Report Share Posted August 30, 2000 Senor Pinche Wey, you are right, the quality of this discussion has gone down the drain. I have read some of the absolute drivel that has been posted in the last 24 hours and it's similar to that absolute crap that I would sometimes hear from the many yoga tourists that I have seen come and go in Mysore. I dare not proceed with the rest of the posts because I am concerned that it may incite me to write something much more critical than this. <br><br>A yoga tourist is one who goes to a place to practice yoga, ironically, not so much to practice and learn, but rather to gape, compare and gossip. Are you a yoga tourist? Why are you all even in Carlsbad? Are you there just so you can say you were there? What the hell are you all doing looking around, comparing and contrasting? Just bloody practice for christ sakes! Ashtanga yoga is NOT a performance sport. Unless of course all of you are so pathetically air-headed that you are unable to channel your focus on either your breathing, bandhas or drishti Do your practice and all is coming! That simply implies that YOUR practice is coming and not someone else's. What good is it to gossip, speculate and gape? Where does that bring you? Why do you feel such a need to report such drivel to the rest of the world? What, with your obviously limited experience, do you understand of Guruji, Sharath, their family or the way they teach? I'm astounded by how you can speculate and judge from your self-centered, achievement-oriented, anal-retentive, American perspective which believes that the rest of the world revolves around your imperialistic, materialistic, corruptive, decadent, arrogant, myopic culture that you so clearly personify. Try marooning yourself on a deserted island. It will do wonders for your yoga practice. Perhaps then your mind and mouth will shut up and focus on what is necessary rather than pursuing that which is frivolous and inconsequential.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2000 Report Share Posted August 31, 2000 say now, that's hitting kind of low--calling me an american. perhaps you've already heard from the message board police for such intolerable insulting language. actually, my dream would be to have the time to just be on a desert island with no worries, but i can't. if my drivel offends, you have my honest apologies. my suggestion would be to just click on by Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cultivate equanimity in your practice..release yourself from all attachments AND adversions (i.e. gawking and whining). THIS is the fruit of the practice.<br><br>Yeshe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
