Treatng pleasure and pain,gain and loss,and vctory and defeat alike,engage yourself in your duty.By doing your duty ths way you will not incur in sin.


The main question here is, what is our real duty? You could be a doctor or a lawyer, but thats your proffesion right? Your duty would be to save lifes or in the other case to fight for people´s rights? Defend your client no matter what, even if you are aware is his or her fault?

This question is what the Gita is about, who am I and how can I live happily in this world of dualities. Dualities as fight for your believes or give up and seek peace.

What would you choose? Or even which one of them seems better or worse? Because it really seems like we are always standing in the middle of two roads. We always have to chose left or right, right or left and we are so greedy that we would love to have both. As it is not possible, we take left but we grieve all of our life for right.

What is certain is that, Im sure one of the reasons we live and come back to life, over and over again is Karma, our actions, the need of wanting more, of an unfinished business. And my big question, im sure one of my reasons of being here is to find what i was doing here, what would I serve for?? And I could find million reasons that would only fill me for some time.

YOGA

It is amazing for me, to have found after 28 years of life, the real reason of happiness and to discover that I love to follow this path, work for it, fight for it and embrace it. I am forcing myself to enjoy the process rather than thinking of the outcome. Enjoy everthing about it, including the opinions of people who might not believe or disagree. Its part of my whole happiness of being here, right here, seated, writing to you a little bit of my day, of the light I have received by being able to transmit these words to you.

I invite you to read the Gita, here i leave you an english version followed by a spanish link also.

the line between us

Tenia que compartir este texto hermoso... En la busqueda del amor eterno, uno debe primero aprender a amar.
Tan sencillo, mas tan complejo.

The Lines Between Us
Inspired by: Samir Selmanovic
Written by: Rajeev Sigamoney

Two men were sitting in a café talking about lifeAnd to be quite specific, their wives.One was a man of middle age and the other a gray haired senior.

The middle aged man spoke honestly without hesitation to the other, “I don’t know how you do it? My wife is getting old and there is nothing I can do to stop the hand of time. That beautiful face I remember looking into for hours is slipping away. And all I see in its place is lines and wrinkles. Her beautiful body which I longed to touch with the yearning of youth has been distorted by stretch marks where once only was perfection. So now, every moment I stare at her, I cannot help but get lost in the memory of all she used to be. And in truth, I’m not sure what is left for us.”

The old man remained silent all this while only smiling as one who knew better. Staring into some imaginary space, he finally replied,“I don’t know how you do it? For when I look upon the wrinkles in my wife’s face, I can only see the smiles we have shared together over the years that put each permanently indented demarcation of love there. When I see the stretch marks on her side, my mind is filled with the beauty of our children and all she gave for them, even the greater parts of her perfection. And in all of her so-called flaws, her body has become a map to me of our journey, a map of our history, a map of our love. And because of them, I love her all the more. So now, every moment that I stare at her, I get lost in every inch of who she now is…”
Hearing this, the middle aged man wept. For he now understood that he had not yet truly learned to love.
