The Bhagavad Gita is very cle...Great post, Brooks.<br /><br />The Bhagavad Gita is very clear on the solution to this "achievement dilemma" and psychological pain it creates. And the solution is elegantly simple, so simple that one can recall it easily anytime one feels the pressure to achieve more or depressed by not making the grade. In fact this could be said to be the main theme of the entire Bhagavad Gita:<br /><br />"Act Decisively, But With No Ego Attachment to the Results".<br /><br />Easy to say, hard to do. But that's why we have Yoga! And even though I used the phrase "hard to do", the effort required is one of greater and greater relaxation, so it's kind of a paradox. It's only "hard" because "relaxation" is hard. But it's not really hard once you get going. It's, well, relaxing!<br /><br />I'm sure even Iyengar himself would agree. <br /><br />Bob Weisenberg<br />YogaDemystifying.comBob Weisenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01442738029941563325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384782695584867387.post-75263247218364059562010-03-28T05:34:48.070-07:002010-03-28T05:34:48.070-07:00great ponderings here: "We already are all di...great ponderings here: "We already are all different states of ourselves..." and the concepts of being-all-things-now! and I love the photo :)Elizehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14420366602608690469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384782695584867387.post-58479545302600629972010-03-27T10:50:42.079-07:002010-03-27T10:50:42.079-07:00I'm inclined to think we all have all of those...I'm inclined to think we all have all of those qualities, and their opposites, to different degrees all the time...so maybe being more human than human simply means to have enough arms to embrace all of our multitudinous selves?YogaforCynicshttp://yogaforcynics.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
