Thanks Steve, I like these quotes.
I feel he is speaking the truth so plainly and with such authority that, I even find some humor in his words. That humor is not from disagreement with these truths but appreciation for this person- much like my fondness for Gurunath.
I tried to meditate after work and the thoughts that are on autopilot(possibly deep samskaras) really, really started to invade my mind. So much so that I thought I was hungry and broke my own rules for success, halting my practices early. It's okay, there is still progress being made. I share this with you not to showcase my weaknesses but to relate to the struggle and hope to grow. I know growth is taking place... So I thank you for these words...
The drop it fast quote really stands out to me, as do the quotes about training our thoughts or practicing meditation for at least an hour.
I found a prayer that I'd like to share with you soon, maybe through text.
Good night Bro.
‘To showcase your own weaknesses ‘ ....That’s funny I’ve got one for you too; When Turiyananda was talking about ... getting caught up in mass karma.. that one hit me big time. I don’t wanna have to come back to a time zone like this just because of being caught up in the karma of this time zone.
“Avoid at all times to find yourself in situations where there is violence or riots so you don’t involve yourself in mass karma. Especially TV revives those bad trends in us.” ~ Turiyananda
