Longing for God
The core of spiritual life is compassionate practice rooted in the heart. The body is the vehicle for practice and must be cared for with healthy living. True yoga is a daily commitment, not a sporadic ritual. Many claim spirituality but fail in consistent practice. The essence is to see all beings within one's own heart, extending compassion to every creature. Do not harm animals; recognize the sanctity of life. Spiritual attainment requires unwavering devotion and surrender, as tested in parables of faith. Do not give up the quest to see the divine reality within all. Holy beings demonstrate the power of such devotion through extreme austerity and selfless love.
"Today we should say in our heart, for all people, all creatures, we feel them all in our heart."
"Humans are not animals. And therefore, we should know that we are humans, and as humans, we should not be killing."
