The aim of a Yogi,
Is complete control of the body,
To them it’s an exact science,
Not a pastime or hobby;
For each breath we take,
Contains health and energy,
Yogis know that if we control this,
We control mind and body.
“Make Yoga the only purpose, aim and real interest in life." SIVANANDA,
Wonderful God,
May I be humble,
To help my spirit grow,
And my ego to crumble;
May I also be,
Full of gratitude,
It stops me being rude,
And gives me a more pleasant attitude.
At every place see God in every face.
How hard it is to control the mind,
It seems a hopeless task,
And can only be done with God's love and guidance,
Whom I daily humbly ask;
It is a constant struggle,
For we have been given free-will,
And it's only with God's help,
That the mind remain calm and still.
"He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still. " LAO TZU.
Each day my body gets older,
But inside is my core,
My ever healthy spirit,
That every day can soar;
It is ever youthful,
Perfect, whole and pure,
It took me years to realise this,
Knowing it is the ultimate cure.
"Remember the entrance to the sanctuary is inside you." RUMI.
