elfuntraxx hope that none of my posts r difficult to understand. If so just ask and i will try to explain more clearly. i can not dictate how others choose to write. That would not b my place and often when i answer them i do so in their language because that is who i am talking with at the time.

As u know each persons spiritual approach is different. From India there comes the word yoga which means union of body, mind and soul in spirit. There are different approaches in our sadhana (spiritual practice) Some come from the Bhakti form which is devotion. Some come from the the service side which is seva and some come from the wisdom which is yhana. Some practice hatha which is a regimen for the physical body. Each one of us eventually choose their own path. It sounds like u have choose that path which is called karma which is the path of action and mixed with this is seva or service to others from what u have described in your post here and previous posts. Hope this helps understand some of the foundations of yoga which is what we often discuss here when we get in depth.

Many of the talks we have here r about experiences we have had or are having in meditation and our spiritual lives. It  would b somewhat difficult for a truck driver or for someone that worked in an automobile factory to explain all the technical things that happen in there line of work in a simplified way. Yet if someone asked they would hopefully do their best to help someone else understand. Many of us here believe that what for instance Jesus told the masses was much different than the intense spiritual practices he gave to his disciples which is evidenced in Revelations and in cloaked form in the Bible. Also life in the monastery and in the company of spiritual teachers is much more focused and involves many mental, spiritual and physical disciplines that the general public may or may not b privy to. We here have discussed some of these topics which might b somewhat bewildering to just any body peeking in. Yet like any language; u can choose to understand it if u choose to and if not then choose what u want to read because, thankfully, many people have offered very diversified contributions here that can fit any one if u look around.

So as a friend u have helped me and likewise i want to do the same for u. If u have any specific questions please ask. meanwhile your wisdom, sense of humor and contributions r appreciated and we r very happy to have u back here after not seeing/hearing from u in a some time....

Sincerely,

Jitendra
