Understand your body
Inspiration arises from within, not from external situations for solving problems. Simplicity fosters happiness, while abundance creates trouble. Modern life, with its hospitals and complexities, contrasts with a natural, joyful past. Traditional community life, where elders guided marriages and families celebrated for a month, ensured responsibility and harmony. Now, brief, transactional ceremonies lack this depth. Modern parenting, where mothers return to work quickly, severs the natural bond, unlike traditions where mother and child remain together for months. This shift creates misunderstanding between generations. The body's skin is a primary teacher. Avoid artificial creams and soaps; natural care allows the skin to breathe and function as an antenna. Body hair serves as a vital conduit for energy and information. The nervous system, with its thousands of nerves, distrib energy like electricity. Blockages in nerves and glands disrupt the flow, which practices like gentle touch or specific prāṇāyāma can clear. Study the body from within; true nourishment and care come from inside, manifesting outwardly.
"The less we have, the more we must have happiness. And the more we have, the more troubles we have."
"Try once, two months, not put any kind of cream and all these soaps and oils... then in two weeks it will be so pleasant."
