It may not be obvious to anyone else, but it's definitely a story.RBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11229168317354334361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2515247027173641993.post-70488789862180993322009-11-06T14:43:07.121-05:002009-11-06T14:43:07.121-05:00our time is our time.

And what's true for one person...Yes, how true. And what's true for one person is also true for the whole human race. I like Yoga philosophy because it makes me feel whole in a way that doesn't depend in any way on my being alive or even the human race surviving. <br /><br />I know that sounds pretty abstract. But it is exactly what the Upanishads and the Gita are all about. And once one feels it, it's not really so abstract at all.<br /><br />I wrote a poem (in the form of an Upanishad no less) about the extreme case of the untimely demise you refer to in your blog:<br /><br />"What is That and Why am I That"<br /><br />http://yogademystified.com/sidebars/what-is-that-and-why-am-i-that/<br /><br />Here's a teaser:<br /><br />"Suppose a meteor hit the earth tomorrow<br /><br />And destroyed all humanity<br /><br />As once happened to the dinosaurs.<br /><br />What would it say about Yoga?<br /><br />What would it say about our most cherished beliefs?"<br /><br /><br />Not everyone's cup of spiritual tea.
