MESSAGE FROM THE HIMALAYAS Himalayas Message from the P eople living in current age, experiencing an economic slump, coming to terms with the fall in everything and yet witnessing day to day life, crests and troughs. Life is a topsy turvy ride, just like disneyland. It is a constant struggle for most of us. We have all the answers and yet we are bewildered, bemused, befuddled by the ups and downs of life, of the twists and turns of fortune. Is fortune thrust upon us, or our own making? If it is our making, can't we create a wonderful future for us? Can't we burn all our karmic debts? Can't we embrace the pains as fruits we deserved and a clearance of debt? However, very little portion of pain is due to karmic debt because we are a highly evolved species. Majority of it is our creation in this given moment, in these given times, making our life an unneccessary struggle. Can we fix it, of course yes. For how, Yoga is the answer. Not the Yoga you hear or generally know about, the real yoga, which we'll introduce you to. From humanity to divinity is and must be our goal. But hey, one step at a time. Yoga is an unknown path because most of us don't know too much about our own self. You may be a NASA scientist, doing a great service to space sciences, focussing or researching on the moon or the mars, but you you don't know much about yourself, isn't it? You don't have too much control over yourself, isn't it? Don't worry, most of us 14 www.yogicherald.com Oct./Nov. 2019 haven't, so you are in the majority, so be comfortable, and yes, there is a solution. We are a huge world inside, a huge inner unchartered terrain, with no control or awareness about it, hence we need an experienced guide, a sherpa, a co-pilot, a trainer, a guru. A guru has a very di erent nature and state than you. He is full of compassion, has far-sightedness, loves sharing, is true to himself, is pure, someone who removes your confusions, your illusions. Never argue or discard your Guru's advice on your meditative experiences, bow down and accept when he tells you the truth of your current state. When in the company of a Guru, try to be as pure and as receptive as possible. Trust me, it's not so di cult. Guiding you is a Guru's dharma. Being pure and true is everyone's dharma. Most people lie to themself, always blame others, blame fortune, blame God, never try to look into the mirror. Our life depends upon life energies and if we purify them, if our lifestyle is in sync with nature, if we have adopted the lifestyle of Yoga (Yogam Sharanam Gacchami), our life can jump ship from the cycle of sorrow and joy to the state of pure bliss, pure divinity, you will be full of divine energy and your miseries, your turbulence, will be history. For the first time, you will live life, pure life.  at is nectar.
