Tony Demello writes,
I was a neurotic for years. I was anxious and depressed and selfish. Everyone kept telling me to change. I resented them, and I agreed with them, and I wanted to change, but simply couldn't no matter how hard I tried. What hurt me the most was that, like the others, my best friend kept insisting that I change. So I felt powerless and trapped.
Then one day he said to me "Don't change. I love you just the way you are."
Those words were music to my ears: Don't change. Don't change. Don't change. . . . I love you as you are.
I relaxed. I came alive. And suddenly I changed.
Now I know I couldn't really change unless I found someone who would love me whether I changed or not.
Is this how you love me God?
Wisdom
Yoga, an ancient but perfect science, deals with the evolution of humanity. This evolution includes all aspects of one's being, from bodily health to self realization. Yoga means union - the union of body with consciousness and consciousness with the soul. Yoga cultivates the ways of maintaining a balanced attitude in day to day life and endows skill in the performance of one's actions.
B.K.S. Iyengar
