Mental Health, physical /physiological health

Mental health- Yamas and Niyamas

Physical/ physiological health - Asanas and Pranayama

Asanas are only physical exercises- but far more sophiscated than the usual. We should refrain

from too much digression on them- they are not spiritual- yamas and niyamas are as they form a basis for life.

Mind and body

When our thoughts are always on God, non stop, even in the midst of our work, in the background

why bother about our body. He will look after us. Body becomes insignificant then, the obsessive need to look after the body becomes trivial, He becomes all important.

God's name is superior to yoga

Let us constantly think of HIM. This is superior to any yoga practice we do. Simple and straightforward. No fuss or pretension.

God knows the way!

The bird with you, the wings with Me;
The foot with you, the way with Me;
The eye with you, the form with Me;
The thing with you, the dream with Me;
The world with you, the heaven with Me;
So are we free, so are we bound;
So we begin and so we end;
You in Me and I in you.
Sri Sathya Sai Baba.
