There’s a generation of Balinese people who hold a lot of wisdom on this island. They’re the farmers who still plough the land, the priests who perform ceremonies and rituals, the women who make offerings every day, the mangkus who have generations of knowledge behind them about traditional healing. These people are often elderly, they’ve lived. They’ve spent their lives learning and practicing their crafts and have made the island what it is today. This island is their home, and as visitors upon it, whether short term or long term, we need to respect that. It is our responsibility now to look after this generation of humans and protect them. You may be able to afford the best medical care, or have the ability to leave if you’re ill. These people cannot. This island is all they’ve got and it is our duty to keep them healthy and safety. Please keep this in mind in your day-to-day travels, every Balinese person you speak to is likely to live in close quarters with an elderly person; so let’s be responsible together and keep this island safe for everyone. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 #Repost @ubudhood #covid19 #coronavirus

“Regarding me. For years, I used to get up early to do pranayama. As soon as three or four minutes I used to feel it was too much the day's pranayama. It is the nature of one who has more dynamism to prefer asana, and some have life to do pranayama. After fifteen years of this irregular pranayama practice, now find the will to do it. Even one hour at stretch is too little now for me. This l gained patiently. give same advice. Every day do five or ten minutes, even if it bores you. Then you conquer the monotony, and you will succeed. As there are no variations in pranayama, it bores. You will succeed at the end of two or three years' regular practice. do only five minutes, do with full devotion and be one with it. You will rise up - Guruji BKS lyengar Sparks of Divinity

The things that matter most in our lives are not fantastic or grand. They are the moments when we touch one another, when we are there in the most attentive or caring way. This simple and profound intimacy is the love that we all long for. These moments of touching and being touched can become a foundation for a path with heart, and they take place in the most immediate and direct way. Mother Teresa put it like this: “In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love.”
In the stress and complexity of our lives, we may forget our deepest intentions. But when people come to the end of their lives and look back, the questions that they most often ask are not usually, “How much is in my bank account?” or “How many books did I write?” or “What did I build?” or the like. If you have the privilege of being with a person who is conscious at the time of his or her death, you find the questions such a person asks are very simple, “Did I love well?” “Did I live fully?” “Did I learn to let go?” - Jack Kornfield
