Blessing of the Saints
The essence of yoga extends beyond the self to the preservation of life. Some saints simply radiate peace, residing in huts or caves. Human activity now destroys the mountains and rocks that are our life, drilling deep and cutting them away. Rivers that once flowed from these rocks are now dry. The roots of mountains, like tree roots, seek and channel water for all vegetation. We see the result where great trees once stood by rivers; now there is nothing. People fight for water, yet dams are built for fish, destroying forests. Water is life; where there is water, there is God. True spirituality means saving trees, vegetation, and water sources. It is not mere physical exercise but protecting the globe.
"Water is life. Water itself is life."
"Yoga and spirituality are not only about yourself. What about others?"
