“The Gita tells us that fire, the radiant sun, the moon, the ocean, quietly repeated prayer, the Himalayas, the thunderbolt, death, time, wind, the shark, the beginning, the end, the middle, the spring season, courage, the silence of secrets, knowledge, beauty and abounding power can all function as our teachers in YOGA, if we only let them.”
“Every time we enter into heartfelt dialogue with another soul, we are moving closer and closer to their divine core. Such conscious, gentle movements are the very connections that constitute yoga. For the yoga of this age is not practiced in isolation, but within our dialogues with other souls.”
“We are drawn to others because they have qualities that we respect, admire, and want to develop ourselves. Thus the concept of association is explained later in the Gita: how to identify the right association, how to cultivate it, and how to make it work for us. In other words, the Gita is a manual for human relationships.” ♥ ~Braja Sorensesn~ ♥
“The whole Bhagavad Gita begins with an act of listening. This act of total receptivity and attention is one of the greatest gifts we can offer anyone, and ourselves: to really listen to another person. Listening is a revolutionary act of peace.” ~Catherine Ghosh~
“Krishna lovingly indicates to Arjuna that fleeing from the battle is not an option, as our life follows us wherever we go. But changing our perspective is. A shift in perspective creates a change in how we move through our lives.”
“YOGA is the process that teaches us there is nothing to fear in learning who we are, understanding our own identity; nothing to fear in our relationships with others; most importantly, nothing to fear from confrontations of the heart.” ~B.Sorensen~
