Digest Number 304

[Guest guest]

As I read comments in Digest number

304, about News article, about vegetarian diet and lifestyle, I do

not see commentators have " moved forward " from last 37 years

in my experience with American Sikh community.I hope we learn

post Yogi Bhajan.

 

I like to share what I learned while

travelling over 20 plus countries in last 16 years is that many million

people world wide eat meat, drink alcohol, don't do yoga, and smoke. Neither,

they sit on your their behinds all days long, don't do petty talk

with each other or always are defensive in nature. Their mental state

is healthy and vibrant. They do believe in their God. They live their lives

while practicing their Faith. They trust their relations, friends, family

and take active part in their small but vibrant communities. They want

less and laugh allot. They think less and speak about what concerns their

daily lives. They don't care about their stupid legacies and being immortal.

They don't worry about being " forgotten " after their death.

What I see when I sit with them and eat with them and sleep on their floors

with their elders or family members, is they are happy to have each other's

company. Their lives give me sense of 'Gratitude " while I am in their

presence. I carry this " feeling of Gratitude " home to my family.

 

 

What I don't see in these

post, comments about people emotionally growing and sharing their daily

wisdom with each other ( except Yoga and courses schedule, good information

) which they earned and experienced. I like to read about such people.

They are " real " to me. The posts could from doing Yoga,any

Yoga, Taking a walk out in the morning, sharing a moment with their friend

who is going through a rough time but is learning about his/her self, and

many other life's little wonders.

 

What I do see is constant selling

of Yogi Bhajan's wisdom which was his only. How is since 1969 no one

came forward enlightened like him while he was alive and wanting his students

to be " the teachers " . Where were these " owners of his wisdom

and legacy " ? How were they serving their own community? Did

Khalsa community witness self less service from these spokes persons? Any

time? How many people from Khalsa community can come forward who are not

on their pay roll to attest to their humanity and self less service as

so desired by Yogi Bhajan in his 30 plus years of self sacrifice.

 

Now is the time, for us to

move forward to learn about " you " and not about " me " ,Her "

or " him " . Most of us are in our late forties or even seventies.

what a waste of time , our time, gift from God, to be wasted on some one

else's words, techniques, or un proven facts. Why people get sucked in

selling game of " you can be grater the you are " promise? Why?

If it is said that Man/woman are God's image, then why this image is broken,

incomplete? Why? Why other broken person telling another that

he/she knows the remedy for how to " mend " you. Look deep

in to them and see if their lives and psyche is whole and their lives

are " content " .

 

Most of these teachers have high blood

pressure, high cholesterol stiff joints, their heart don't function as

well, they are near or are diabetic, they are fat, they have sleep apnea

and many more conditions and ailments in the " you are getting

old list " . As long Yoga is taught as a exercise, it is wonderful technique.

When teachers start to tell students he/she know their destiny and can

change students " mental being with his technique, it is a deception.

Are we being deceived because we want to be happy, healthy and holy??

 

Who is the best drug counselor? One

who has kicked his own drug addition many years ago. Who

are healthy Yoga teachers? Young one in their mid thirties and

athletic or older one who look like they in their thirties with positive

attitude. Smile:) . We must be vigilant about our quest to be happy

and healthy while in deception, someone may dominate our common sense?

You ask this question to you self. Find an answer for your sake.

Be wise.

 

No one is perfect. God did not create

concept of perfection. It is a church / temple / religious " control

concept " to control " our will " from discovering our

destiny. God wants us to live.Be happy in " our little moments " .

Smile in " our little dreams " . Enjoy flashing moments of joy,

smile, laughter, or just a gentle touch of other person. This is " Kundal

( Round circle ) Lini ( with in ) Yog ( Union ) a ( effort /power). We

should seek power with in our life circle instead from other's.

 

I post my thoughts only to share and

desire to know other people in these posts who are not coming forward

to present their views. I reach out to you to come forward and be

present. With out fear and with out enmity ( Nir Bhao ,Nir Ver ). This

mantra is for the true Yogi...
