Inner Engineering
Everything you borrow from the earth, including your body, has a certain inertia. It is important to be conscious of this and to keep the inertia levels at the minimum. When we gauge whether your sadhana is working or not by looking at how much you sleep and how alert you are, we are checking how much inertia you generate. The inertia levels will increase if the body does not allow a certain amount of energy to enter the cellular level. Neem and turmeric as a combination dilate the cellular structure of the body in such a way that it allows energy to enter and fill up every crevice. Neem and turmeric are a physical support towards that, but sadhana itself does it too.
You can generate enormous energy by means other than sadhana, such as stimulants – like a strong cup of coffee, nicotine, or cocaine – but it will not dilate the cellular structure and allow the energy to enter the system so it can be stored and released over a long period of time. When instead of being stored, energy finds expression right there, it becomes destructive – not only for the body, but also for the mind, for the activity that you perform, and for the world around you. When we generate energy in the body, it is important that it does not simply burst out but that we are able to hold it and release it by choice.
The consumption of neem and turmeric with tepid, light honey water is a wonderful way of cleansing and dilating the cellular structure in such a way that it is able to absorb energy. When you do sadhana, the dilation brings flexibility to the muscles. The flexibility helps you to slowly build the system into a more powerful possibility. You will feel it – as you do your asanas, the body will crackle with a different kind of energy.
In challenging times, it is important that above all, we have balance within ourselves.
If one learns to align one's physical geometry with the cosmic geometry, knowing the reality of existence will become a natural phenomenon within oneself.
Existentially, there is no significance to your opinions of either yourself or others.
If there is love in your heart, it will guide you through your life. Love has its own intelligence.
If someone is hurting and it does not hurt you at all, that means you have forsaken your humanity.
If you are exuberant, joyful, and wonderful, your immune system will function much better than when you are worried. Wholeness of Life Is Health.
If you touch the still core within yourself, you will touch the original nature of your existence.
