The root cause of environmental pollution is greed & insensitivity. Outer cleanliness can be sustained only by keeping our hearts clean. Protect your enthusiasm, simplicity & compassion & you will be far more effective in preserving your environment.
Happy #WorldEnvironmentDay

Congratulations to all the yoga teachers & practitioners from around the world for making it obvious today that yoga is the much needed bonding of mankind across the globe. News & pictures of IYD celebrations from Japan to Argentina, from small villages to big metros pouring in.
Yoga has really united the world, a dream of many saints and sages. While one third of humanity is enjoying the benefits of yoga, two thirds are reminding the instructors of their responsibility.

Often people think they are sad because of love. It is not so. It is craving for attention from the other or aversion to the other's behaviour that causes sadness. Love really begins when you go beyond craving & aversion.
Don't think of anything as difficult. Know that we have an even greater power within and according to that we get tasks to perform. @SriSri Ravi Shankar
The day you feel hopeless, horrible, and worse, on that day get out of your room and ask people, What can I do for you? That service you have done that day will bring a revolution inside you. It will change your whole gramophone record. ~@SriSri#wisdom#SaturdayMorning

Some feel the year went by too fast & others feel it was too slow. If you keep your gifts to yourself, life drags. If you share them, life flows smoothly. Plan your calender accordingly. On this path, the older you get in age, the younger you become in spirit. Happy New Year!
