11th May 2013 - Saturday - Suffering and Happiness
“Such terms we use often – ‘Good Morning’, ‘Happy Day’. Throughout the day we use such words but what is the meaning? Do we mean it? Are we happy when we are told we are happy? In fact, our mind remains the same. We are unable to knock out that mind and basically yoga is to knock out that mind – remain stable, accept life and respond, do your duties. These are the instructions given. But in our day-to-day life, we want the excitement and momentarily we get excited, again we are in a depressed state. We have to recognize this and carry on our duties without getting too excited. This is the message.”
Patanjali Yoga Sutra Transcribed from Parisamvadat The Yoga Institute.

"We are talking of concentrating the mind, because then understanding can occur. So this object has to be one single object not keep on changing, and the attention has to be continuous. See, these are the conditions and if one can manage that, then some understanding can occur, otherwise a mind that is wavering never gathers any knowledge.

Smt. H: Firstly see to whom you are giving advice. Give only the advice which you yourself follow. Otherwise it is a lie and has no meaning. Advice only someone who wants the advice. Don't go around giving unsolicited advice.

“In spirituality, truth is given maximum importance. Some Slokas talk about Satya. Satyameva Jayate, Satyam Shivam Sundaram, Hiranmayena Patrena Satyasyapihitam Mukham. In this world, one can only reach Satya when a golden veil is removed. You have to put in a good amount of effort to reach the truth. The material world is always attracting us. Once that veil is removed, we reach the truth.

4th May 2013 - Saturday - Inaction
"Talk on 'inaction', which is our national trait. If we can avoid something, we will avoid it. We do what we do out of leisure, but we just like to do nothing. There are many things that we all could have done in life, for the good of our own people, but we just don't do. Not that the jobs are very hard. It may be just picking up a paper lying on the road and putting it away, but we don't do it. So inaction has become a trait. This is a bad habit. If we are otherwise free, and are capable, we must carry out actions that are required. It is worth considering, whether we are of that kind - who are trying to do actions as required, or are trying to find out ways and means to avoid actions."
Patanjali Yoga Sutra Transcribed from Parisamvadat The Yoga Institute.

"See, we have this sutra which is talking about the difficulties. Pain, despair, trembling, fast inhalation, exhalation they all accompany distractions. Physically also the person is unable to proceed. Apparently they are appear physical but the internal disturbances are more important. When a person is internally peaceful then this trembling and all that doesn’t happen. At the learning stage we are unable to handle them.

Check this out on ChirbitQ. I am unable to detect the moment when I get angry. I realize it well after I have lashed out. What can I do?Dr. J: Have more lashing, then you will learn. Have more criticism, more people reminding you, then gradually you will learn.
Smt. H: When this happens, naturally you will suffer more. Then more criticism, more reactions from people and so on. They say that unless a person doesn’t suffer thoroughly well in life, he doesn’t change. I would rather guide you that in that case, at least keep your mouth shut. That would be the first lesson. After you have expressed negativity, then you realize that it was too late. You will have done lots of Karmas then. So at least don’t do Karmas. Learn to be quiet, speak less and that would help you more.
