Guest guest Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 hi everybody, i have met so many people practicing yoga , and read so many others through this beutifull site, and i see that the most of them see yoga as another way of body fitness. and is logical in this consuming and materialistic society we live. and i ask. where is the Higher Self, the absolut,that we have to realise, the supreme goal of yoga. That which is beyond the thouhgts and the mind, beyond the ego. is it posible for us the westerners that we are traped in this marerialism ,to realise that self with the big S? is it posible to keep the balance between the spirituality and the crazyness, the speed of the today world? we are not living in the caves and in the forests , like the rishis,the saints who lived in India handreds years ago. we have to put our energys to the every day life and to our familys. We have to face the violence all around us, and to keep the love inside. is it possible.? Yoga is a way of self ralitation, but is it posible to achive this higher reality? to over pass the gross reality? to experience the thiner layers of our selfs and universe? its a question to thing about for all of us. because the world is going very fast today . peace and love.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 I've wondered about this for years... Where I'm at right now is the Astanga Practice gives me Spiritual Leg's to stand on. It enables me to live in the Western World, keep up with day to day life, and choose whatever path I want travel, which is a good thing (also know as Freed-Om). I'm able to see the sunrise, sunset, ocean, smiles, goodness, purity, compassion and feel all of these for the first time in my life.
