Thought for the day

The purpose of Yoga and spirituality is to stop misery before it arrives. Your own identifications are the cause of your misery. There is a beautiful proverb in Sanskrit : ‘Kashtasya sukhasya nakopi data’ (सुखस्य दुःखस्य न कोऽपि दाता) – There is no giver of happiness or misery. It is your own making. Living in the moment with joy, alertness and compassion is enlightenment. It is being free from within, feeling at home with everybody.

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
