Le parole hanno più di un significato – Swami Chetanananda In sanscrito le parole hanno più di un significato. Per esempio, la parola go significa sia mucca che gli organi di senso; gopal significa così non solo pastore, ma anche yogi che tiene gli organi di senso completamente sotto controllo.

Why growth is always my first priority

“Growing is the most important and essential endeavor that a human being can undertake. You can make money, you can be promoted or demoted in the world. Never, at any stage, is there certainty about what will happen to you in this life. However, there is one thing nobody can ever take away from you-the growth you attain through your own search for Self-knowledge. Furthermore, this growth and understanding become the foundation that sustains you through any and all worldly difficulties, and that allows you-whatever the form of your physical experience- to find in life a continuously unbroken flow of total well-being.” 

— Swami Chetanananda

Over the past few months I’ve been finding quotes and reading snippets in books that feel like they were purposely put before me, right at this moment. Pretty soon, I’ll be heading out on a journey by foot that will probably take me a couple of months (post coming soon). To many, it looks like I’m “putting my life on hold” and taking a vacation from my responsibilities, but really it’s quite the opposite. Living fully and exploring our relationship with ourselves, especially at the impressionable age of 20, builds the foundation on which we stand for the rest of our lives. I want to make sure mine is solid :)

The point is that we cannot let the world be our limitation. We have to begin to live from the unimaginable potential that exists inside us. It is only when we transcend the tensions within us that we can live from that potential.
