So, what did I do?

I was inspired by teachings of two distinguished people.

1st, Swami Vivekananda, Who said:

Just don’t meditateMake your life meditative.

Next, our teacher,Swami Amartyanandawho told us, always to:

Watch our thoughts & nothing else.

So, I thought of thoughts

And as my teacher had said, the posture came.

The point is:

Meditation is arriving at what lies

beyond the body & mind

&

that’s possible in several ways.

Thus, don’t ever feel

restricted.
