puruṣa

„While puruṣa refers to the transcendent God beyond universal creation, he may also be conceived of as the human soul. In contrast to the external causes and effects of prakriti, puruṣa is the internal experience of joy, sorrow, and other stages of being.

As a witness in the human being, the puruṣa offers guidance to the ego through intuition, which may be received in meditation. It is an individualized parcel of supreme Spirit and therefore ever perfect.“

LOKAL SAMASTAH SUKHINO BHAVANTU

„May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may my thoughts, words, and actions contribute in some way to happiness and freedom for all.” Adding the Lokah mantra to your personal practice is a meaningful and beautiful way to remind yourself of your own capacity to create freedom and happiness in the lives of others.

If our actions, words, and thoughts are to bring comfort and joy then they are unlikely to cause pain and suffering.

Something that cannot be described, but can only be practiced, implemented and felt.This knowledge is in all of us – possibly deeply hidden and showered with conditioning, experiences, expectations, rules and thusnot easy to recognize. A spiritual practice is possible in every situation in which we are stuck – from an unpleasant moment as well as from pleasant circumstances.We always have the possibility of transformation. This also gives you the opportunity to get closer to us. For me, cultivating a spiritual practice means nourishing the …

FORGIVENESS

„It’s one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself, to forgive. Forgive everybody.” Maya Angelou „Generating universal compassion is another way of dealing with anger that aids in cultivating forgiveness and can be accomplished through reflecting on how we are all connected because we all share in the experience of pain and all wish to overcome suffering.
