Both of which emanate from ego. An important point to remember in this regard is that the Mind is the bridge between the body and the soul so long the ego does not interfere. What is the way out of anger and conflict desires? I offer you the 2 "V"s to steer you clear of these obstacles 1. Varagya - a letting go, surrender, a touch of vulnerability, generosity of Heart 2. Viveka - discrimination through purity of mind So today commit yourself to serenity of mind and generosity of heart through the 2 "V"s And victory is yours." With much, much Love Swami Yogiraj Nanak please note our monthly sadhana page for a special Maluk Das sadhana recording Jai Baba Sant Maluk Das ! *** Weekly Meditation and Satsang Thursdays, 6:15-7:30pm We at Yogavani Mission are always here to serve your Higher Self! With Love and a Fearless Spirit ***** Om Shanti - Eternal Peace |
