Whatever you want to have happen to you make it happen for others now and eventually but inevitably you will reap the seeds you have sown.
Sharon Gannon

Don't try to do this by yourself: to become a good yogi you need a teacher. Find a teacher you can bow to, who can teach you how to be kind - how to serve others - because the key to enlightenment lies in that. Be humble, work hard, study and practice. Chant the Name of God, do japa and meditate, every day.

Image
See the other person's potential for kindness and bolster your own expression of kindness. If you see them in a negative way, the power of your perception will only help to keep them that way as you polarize yourself from them, assuming a superior role, seeing yourself as the good guy and them as the bad guy.

Worry is a prayer for something you don't want.

Lions and other carnivorous animals do a lot of things besides eat meat. They live outdoors, not in houses they don't wear clothes or drive around in cars they usually sleep for many hours after eating a meal. Why cite just one of the many things that they do and argue that we should imitate them? This doesn't make much sense.

I'm totally into veganism and animal rights, but I'm not into being an angry and judgmental activist.

Knowing the truth about the hell-realms that animals have to endure, it would be wise of us to do our best now not to plant the karmic seeds that would cause us to be reborn as an animal in one of those hell realms.

Vegan food is not only good for you, the animals, and the planet, but cooking vegan can be simple, easy, and fun.
Sharon Gannon
Image
It is true that veganism is a serious issue, but there should be fun involved. Why do anything if it doesn't bring some joy at the end of the day?
Sharon Gannon
Image
I don't miss another opportunity to try to do my best to finish the things I have left undone. I could say: It's my unresolved karma that wakes me up in the morning.

How we treat others will determine how others treat us, and how others treat us will determine who we are.

The fact is that eating meat and dairy is bad for your health, the health of the animals eaten, as well as the health of the planet.

The practices of Yoga will help you maintain equanimity in all situations by teaching you to become transparent, able to allow both joy and sorrow to flow through you without destroying your peace of mind.

You cannot do yoga. Yoga is your natural state.

Image
One of the definitions for mad is wild I'm certainly all for wild as opposed to domesticated.
Sharon Gannon
Image
If you practice Yoga for small, selfish reasons, you will remain the same, bound by your beliefs about what you can and cannot do. Let go and offer your effort to limitless potential. Dedicate yourself to the happiness of all beings.

When we have a choice it is always best to choose kindness. Veganism is simply the kinder choice.

Image
Live with the anticipation that something incredible might happen at any time.

Be a communicator, not a self-righteous proselytizer or preacher. Many people are only concerned with expressing themselves, which isn't necessarily communication.

We are the only animals who steal and drink the milk from other species.
