You can meditate and still get angry.⁠
Practise yoga and still love a night out.⁠
Eat clean… and still want chips sometimes.⁠
It’s not about being perfect.⁠
It’s about being natural.⁠
⁠
As Gurudev says:⁠
“Leave a little room for imperfection.⁠
This acceptance allows you to be more patient, more calm,⁠
and ensures that you at least maintain the inner perfection.”⁠
⁠
✨ Wellness isn’t performance. It’s mental peace.⁠

We are all part of a one world family. We are different but we are part of one human race.
You can be a Christian, Jewish, Muslim, you can follow whatever is your religion, that’s okay, but apart from that, there is something that can help you to become peaceful, graceful and happy from deep within. We need to celebrate diversity. We need to honor all the cultures and every language of the world.

“He tried meditating with YouTube…⁠
5 minutes later — more frustrated than when he started. 😁⁠
Couldn’t sit still. Got distracted. Ended up in a rabbit hole of random videos.⁠
⁠
Then he discovered Meditations with Gurudev.⁠
No forcing. No fidgeting. Just breath — and real calm.⁠
⁠
He didn’t have to try to meditate.⁠
It just happened. Naturally.⁠
⁠
So if he looks extra peaceful now…⁠
Yeah, it’s the breath and guidance from an expert😌⁠

When love flows without conditions and service is offered without expectations, life becomes light like a breeze. Just give… and see how the universe gives back a thousandfold.
Although one cannot give with empty vessel. Fill yourself with love and compassion, which can be achieved through regular practice of meditation.

08/25/2025

Meditation is not an escape from life. On the contrary, it is a soul-stirring embrace with the essence of life. ⁠
⁠
Balancing worldly activities with a daily dip inside ourselves puts us in touch with our eternal Self. We discover our innermost nature that never changes, even though our lives are immersed in constant outer change. This inner awakening to the Self is called Enlightenment.⁠

We guard our bank accounts.
We plan, we strive, we invest.
But we forget the most precious wealth we carry — our own breath.

James Nestor, author of “Breath”, explored ancient and modern practices and he wrote:

“Sudarshan Kriya™️ is the most powerful technique I’ve learned.”

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has said:

“The rhythm in your breath can take you beyond your mind —
to that space where everything is already perfect.”

“When the breath flows properly, the mind becomes quiet, and you are able to rest.
That is when healing begins.”

The real treasure lies within.
And your breath is the key.

Have you ever felt your heart grow hard,⁠
your mind feel heavy,⁠
or your thoughts lose clarity?⁠
⁠
It happens.⁠
But when it does, pause and remind yourself:⁠
⁠
💗 “The heart should be soft, the intellect should be sharp and the mind should be pleasant. Never lose these three!” —

When your phone battery is low, you charge it without question 🔋⁠
But what about your inner battery?⁠
⁠
Exhaustion isn’t just physical. It shows up in your thoughts, your breath, your smile.⁠
⁠
True energy doesn’t come from more coffee or endless scrolling. It comes from within ☕🚫⁠
⁠
Pause. Unplug from the noise. Reconnect—with nature, with breath, with silence 🌿⁠

“Rest is the source of energy. When the mind is calm, intuition awakens, and life flows with ease.” – ⁠
