THE ART OF LIVING

Have you ever had that feeling that you lead some1 to a trap but then you out of sympathy (or for the sake of company) you go and fall into the trap with the same person, but the experience you get may stun you.

This is wat happened when I tried to put my brother into the course and casually avoid it, but after the 1^st intro-talk I was the first 1 to say I will surely join and not only me I also made a very close friend of mine and another friend to join.

And thus life took me to the art of living YES+ course,

I joined the course with a hint of reluctance towards the spiritual practices and yoga, the two words alone spell out one word "BORING", but they say art of living changes the way you think and it made me, the eternal pessimist and a stubborn person into a believer not in their practices or beliefs but their way of thinking and living.

When I joined I thought the practices to be stupid and kiddish but by the 7th day i understood y v ver told to do so .It made me go back to the time wen v ver all kids without fear or regret for the embarrassment our actions will bring to us, That is a time from where all of us have passed but some of us think that time is only a memory and some of us think it was a horrendous waste of years v cud've spent more maturely laying our living to the mercy of money and the people around us, pretending to be as mature and knowledgeable as a human mind and body can pretend to be.

We clapped at the drop of a hat or laughed even if v saw some1 breathe or just to make the place a lot more fun to be around. I felt light in my head and with my friends around i thought i needed nothing, but i the seven days i forged new friendships, learned how different people have different aims and goals in life. They told us how to be happy only to c another beautiful creation from god.

We had people from all walks of life, some1 wanted to be a Rockstar, some1 wanted to help the poor, disabled, stray dogs and some wanted to be a nice person to be with, some wanted to be more focused so that v can get a better degree and earn a hell lot of money (like me), but they all came there with one goal, PEACE OF MIND.

The course designers say that the fee structure is set so to keep the curious, not-so-serious practice tester of the course out, not that they don’t want them there but they want them there with an open mind. A closed mind is like an upside down pot which can’t grasp anything, so to gain something in life u have to have an open mind.

The yoga was fun, stunning but true and they don’t brain wash us or something, I still have the opinions on things I like and many more that I don’t, but let me clarify the Positive far out number the negatives by the ratio 1:1000 and I am being modest.

It is a great way to interact with a very elite group of people not by “world standards”(money, popularity etc. doesn’t mean that they are not ) but Intellectually Refined and higher in intellect and thinking than me or others like me and they have one sole aim, to share that higher very rare intellect and Make it common thus making the whole world happy.

Before you do the course a few pointers :

• People who are your course instructors are very educated(I mean degrees)[ in my case my instructors were Dentists].
• Forget you ego at home.
• Grasp everything with a pinch of salt as it your life depends on it.
• Shun all your worldly knowledge which can come in the way of u learning new things.
• Try and take out time, the course is 5 hrs a day for 7 continuous days(sound tiring but is the exact opposite.
• Keep ur mind open to new practices.
• When you enter the place for the course become a kind and enter the place and have a lotta fun.
• Be prepared to become excited and happy all the time, and I bet you u wont feel bad.
• Put everything in practice .
• And Most Important Smile and Have Fun.

And Finally I hope all the people reading this can see changes in me that I can fell, I have an even bigger smile(so expect a lot more of those PJ’s), and please do it if you want to change your life, this is Bhupi from your class, building, city or your circle of friends, not the art of living promoter and I vouch for everything I said and say that its true.

Till Next time Jai Gurudev
