Yoga of the Heart
The heart overflows with love or pain, manifesting as tears. In this age, few love God truly, as most seek money and position. Yet God never disappoints; He loves. God, who never truly sleeps, tends a garden, loving every plant. A bamboo in the corner feels unloved and flawed, pleading to remain in the garden despite its emptiness and knots of ego. God explains He must cause it pain to serve a higher purpose: first, to craft a flute whose music will open human hearts, and later, to use its trunk as a channel to bring water to a parched land. The bamboo consents, asking only for God's continued love. This illustrates that where there is pure heart and love, there is no real pain, jealousy, or fear. Yoga is this union of hearts; when brains engage, conflict arises. The immortal self resides in the heart, perpetually connected to the divine through an indescribable love.
"Everyone can disappoint us, but be sure God will never disappoint you. He loves."
"Where there is a heart, there is no disappointment. There is no pain, and there is no doubt."
