@Andy Serkiz Yes, sounds good. But the full potential of what? Your body? Your mind? Your soul? Your work? Your relationships? All of of those? If I climb up a tree in the jungle, it is usually to survey where I am going...

@Andy Serkiz 😁👍

@Lee Simmons bah! humbug! Don't spend your time destroying spiritual people... i predict that it will come back to you violently as a reaction...

Breath work, Meditation, devotional service, that I still live in illusion and that despite everything, I still need others. I have to remember that I maybe a renunciate, but I am still human.

@Adrian Pohl Thanks for noticing it...

You've got it! Focus on your growth! When we focus on the right thing, we get results. Therefore, when we fail, we know why...

@Tristan Gregoire it is part of the meaning of life. But the meaning of life is a secret that i only share face to face and i am far away... j'habite en Inde. i guess you must speak French with a name like Tristan Gregoire.

Human life in the realm of maya (or illusion) is but a perverted reflection of the spiritual life. In other words material life is a perverted reflection of the spiritual world. When the soul alone acts towards its proper object, the relationship is pure, when the mind and the senses act upon a wrong object, relationship with the Divine is degraded and becomes hateable. The perverted relationship gives a clue to the idea of the noble spiritual relationship to man in general; hence arguments and descriptions of the Vedas which is asking us to make a nice distinction between spirit and gross matter, otherwise an empty life is inevitable. "To summarize, man in his present state has three different principles in one principle or gross matter composing his body. The linga principle or sublimated matter appearing in the form of mind, attention, rationality and the perverted ego by which one confounds himself with the material world. This state has been caused by the influence of Maya or the illusory energy with the object of correcting the soul in his wrong intention to enjoy, in consequence of forgetfulness of his nature as God’s servant. Man in fact is solely independent of Maya (illusion) and her connections. The only way to get rid of the present difficulty is the influence of pure bhakti imbibed from a true bhakta. Bhakti as a means elevates the man up to the understanding of whom the Supreme Lord is and again, as an end, maintains him with eternal love of God. While located in the illusory world man must live peacefully with the object of cultivating his soul. In his society he must lead a pure life. Avoid sins and do as much good as he can to his brother man. He must be himself humble, bearing difficulties of life with heroism, must not brag of any goodness or grandeur, he has and must treat every one with respect. Marriage with a view to peaceful and virtuous; life and with a view to procreate servants of the Lord is a good institution for him. Spiritual cultivation is the main object of life. Do everything that helps it and abstain from doing anything which thwarts the cultivation of the spirit. Have a strong faith that God alone protects you and none else. Admit Him as your only guardian. Do everything which you know that God wishes you to do and never think that you do a thing independent of His Holy wish. Do all that you do with humility. Always remember that you are a sojourner in this world, and you must be prepared for your own home. Do your duties and cultivate bhakti as a means to obtain the great end of life. Employ your body, mind and spirit in the service of the Lord. In all your actions, worship your Great Lord.”
