Ahimsa

Yoga came into our lives to learn, first of all, ahimsa, non-violence,

As long as we fight each other, we can never be happy. Whether we are the victors or the defeated, in the end, we all lose as we abandon our humanity and our souls.

Many terrible things happen in this world.

Wars, constant conflict for years, disease, death and decay are here, and we must come to terms with that.

It all depends on how much we have accepted that it will all end for us at some point.

Is it important how it will end?

Of course, it is. But the outcome remains. We die. Each moment, we die, and each moment, we live again because we are reborn if we accept the simple fact of our mortality.

Why? When we learn to embrace reality as it is, we fear less. And when we fear less, we can love more. And love nourishes every cell in our body, our entire being.

Can we explain how and why life is the way it is? I think we can't. Even if we are quantum physicists exploring the mysteries of life, the simple fact is that it is all beyond us.

Is it worth living if we're going to die? It's the only thing we can do. We are manifestations of life, breathing organisms that take their turn in existence.

How can we deny life when life is all we are?
