Send us Fan Mail When we speak of surrender its meaning can be that an individual surrenders to a God or higher power that is separate.

Therefore, here you are not really lettings go...

Send us Fan Mail We all develop a worldview through our upbringing and life. The human view is that I am born to a mother and I will die one day.

Send us Fan Mail The mind and emotions can never truly be at peace. So if you remain only on the level of the body and senses you will never find balance.  Then you can stop trying to do that which is not possible. Like you cannot go in the water with your clothes on up to your head and not get your clothes wet. In the same way, you can not remain only a human being and be in balance. The very nat...

Send us Fan Mail In the Yoga Sutras of Patanajli it is said that there is only one cause of suffering.

Send us Fan Mail In the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali  there are two terms that explain this dilemma completely. Raag is attachment and dwesh is aversion.  If you have one then you have to have the other.

So what is meant by the saying, First to be pure, means that you have no attachments to anyone or anything. You do not steal...

However, as soon as we shift the attention to the one who is Kn...
