Swami Murugananda - Integral Yoga Podcast

Description

Listen to Swami Murugananda from Integral Yoga Podcast. "What matters most is I think is being compassionate, kind, and understanding your mind - watching it, observing.""The fact that we're conscious beings living on a beautiful planet filled with such a huge variety of living thingsit's astonishing, it's awesome - as the people would say.""Awe-inspiring. Awesome is a word overused. I think it's a sacred word that should be applied to the places that are that, not because someone drives a pedal pushing car or something. That's not awesome, that's just ordinary.""All of that is, "oh people are going to love me for doing this." That blocks off really understanding what there is around. So, you have to work outside of that, and that's what comes onthis beauty of whatever there is.""You know, if you look at little little children walking, they'll stop at every leaf and every bush, and they'll look at it. See, they're taking everything in. Everything is like new to them. So every moment, every second, is like ten minutes to you.""Wouldn't it be great if we could do that? Live every moment, just like that. We walk so fast, we miss what's around us. We missthe magic.""The true thing is to know, what you know, that comes from you, that you discover. Then it's yours. Otherwise it's not yours, it's someone else's.""The whole process is getting plugged in, getting the juice.""Most of the time people are asleep. They're consciously asleep, and they want someone else to tell them what to do, or how to do, or who they are, or what they are.""He said (Swami Satchidananda) "Well, if I tell you what to do, you will do it because I told you. What do you want to do? You find out.""If you're connected to the root of your being, what you're here for, your purpose. Then you serve some function in the worldyou can do something for good, and you can do something creative."
