I went to a Yoga re-retreat over this weekend. The rolling hills, surrounded by a valley on one side and the ocean on the other side with a low fog - just the first sight made me hold my breath for a few seconds. The mere beauty of nature was simply splendid!
We had various panel discussions, insights into the 'Maha Vakyas', yoga, meditation, singing and everything else that appealed to me! It was a home coming in a vague way for me - it seemed like it was custom made just for me!
On one of the evenings as I stood there all by myself, watching the golden Sun set behind the horizon and the Golden Gate bridge in my background - what I experienced at that moment was a feeling of 'Advaita'.
The mere feeling of humility one feels in front of the majestic beauty is something one has to experience!
I simply stood there and prayed - not to any God, or deity. But to Mother nature... I wished for each of my friends, my acquaintances, people I love and am loved by - and all those that have ever touched my life to be blessed! With peace, happiness and health!
My biggest take away from this weekend was simply that it is important "To exist and not to persist". It is this moment and now. There is no right or wrong. There is no good or bad. And, who are we to judge. We simply live that's all!
So live, let live and be happy - that's all matters!
