Remembering dear Guruji with gratitude always 🙏
“I am old, and death inevitably approaches. But both birth and death are beyond the will of a human being. They are not my domain. I do not think about it. Yoga has taught me to think of only working to live a useful life. The complexity of the life of the mind comes to an end at death, with all its sadness and happiness. If one is already free from that complexity, death comes naturally and smoothly. If you live holistically at every moment, as yoga teaches, even though the ego is annihilated, I will not say, “Die before you die.” I would rather say, “Live before you die, so that death is also a lively celebration”….I do pray that my ending will be your beginning. The great rewards and the countless blessings of a life spent following the Inward Journey await you." ~ B.K.S. Iyengar, Light on Life
