freedom / paseando por el jardín

Real freedom is mastery over oneself.

To do as one likes is not freedom. 

Eating anywhere, sleeping anywhere and saying anything is not freedom. 

One has become a slave of the body, the senses and the mind. 

To have a comfortable life, 

to shirk responsibility, 

to renounce the world, 

these do not mean freedom.

The little things of the world cannot give eternal joy. 

It is freedom from desires, thoughts, likes and dislikes, freedom from anger, greed and pride. 

Every dificulty is an opportunity to develop the will and to grow strong. 

Nothing can bring one peace, but victory over the lower self. 

Freedom is perfection. 

In a still mind lies freedom and eternal bliss.

Swami Sivananda

Declaration of freedom: 

Whatever may seem to bind or limit you, 

declare yourself free from it now. 

There is nothing in the outer world, 

no person, no condition and no circumstance that can 

take away the freedom which is yours in spirit. 

Instead of wishing that you were free to live your life differently, 

accept the truth that right now you are free, 

free to charge your thinking, 

free to change your outlook on life, 

free to be all that you long to be. 

Make this day of freedom, spiritual freedom. 

Declare yourself free from anxiety and fear, 

free from any belief in luck or limitation.

Swami Satyananda

Este año no ha habido tanta 

explosión de glicinias como otros, 

quizás las hemos podado demasiado, 

pero hacía falta...

Me gusta la primavera, 

incluso con tiempo revuelto. 

Y es la época junto con el otoño, 

en la que más fotos del jardín suelo hacer.

Esta semana andaré más ocupada. 

Además de las clases y de la casa, 

hay que preparar la sala-local donde 

el próximo fin de semana 

Swami Satsangi de India

dará un seminario y  

viene gente de toda Europa.

♡ 


Feliz semana
