"One has to observe closely the nature of relationship and love. 

Love has now become very trodden upon - you know what it has become, sex, pleasure, ego, a form of shallow transactional entertainment. 

And where there is the cause to love, 

love has gone. 

So can human beings - please ask this question - can human beings live without a cause? 

Not political cause or some other cause, I am not talking of such causes. 

To live in one's life, daily life without a single cause. 

Is that at all possible? 

Or we are so conditioned that as we have lived for thousands of years on causation and its effect, it is very difficult to observe a life without causation. The unmanifested has no cause. It simply is. 

You understand the implications of that question?⁠⁠

If the speaker comes here and talks because he or she has got a motive - propaganda, fame, notoriety, bigger audiences, sales, therefore gratifying to the speaker, all that business, then the speaker, the seller, has a cause. 

And then what takes place? 

The speaker is in a terrible pickle! (Laughter) 

The seller, the speaker, then depends on you. 

He or She wants your flattery, your attention, your time and money you know, all that. 

The seller doesn't want your criticism, she wants your flattery, she is dependent, attached, and so she is perpetually in a state of anxiety and therefore she is a monster, the seller is exploiting you. Beware anyone who comes with a cause. 

So, then we may ask: why is he speaking, what is the cause? 

If there is no cause...?

If there is NO cause.  Be curious. 

Find out what it means to live without a single cause, because love has no cause." ⁠

Yoga is practiced by many millions of people worldwide and is celebrated for its mental, physical, and spiritual benefits. 

And yet, as Daniel Simpson reveals in The Truth of Yoga, much of what is said about yoga is misleading. 

For example, the word “yoga” does not always mean union. 

In fact, in perhaps the discipline’s most famous text—

the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali—its aim is described as separation: isolating consciousness from everything else. 

And yoga is not five thousand years old, as is commonly claimed; the earliest evidence of practice dates back about twenty-five hundred years. (Yoga may well be older, but no one can prove it.)

The Truth of Yoga is a clear, concise, and accessible handbook for the lay reader that draws upon abundant recent scholarship.
