“It's a mistake to expect benefits from any pose. Expectations make you restless because if you fail to get what you expect, you feel miserable. Yoga practice is an act of adoration to the Lord. You do it because it has to be done. If you have this mental attitude, your selfishness disappears and the benefits come.” IfsFeelsDoneMistakeAttitudeLordPracticeFailingBenefitsExpectationsYogaDisappearMiserableSelfishnessRestlessAdorationMental AttitudeYoga Practice Author:Dharma Mittra

“The world is full of men and women who work too much, sleep too little, hardly ever exercise, eat poorly, and are always struggling or failing to find adequate time with their families. We are in a perpetual hurry-constantly rushing from one activity to another, with little understanding of where all this activity is leading us. . . . The world has gone and got itself in an awful rush, to whose benefit I do not know. We are too busy for our own good. We need to slow down. Our lifestyles are destroying us.

“The job description of mother is clearly in need of revision. As it stands, the shifts are 24 hours, for a period of approximately 1,825 consecutive days.

“In the name of compassion, Obama advocates seemingly endless extensions of unemployment benefits because his economic theology holds that by paying people not to work, you will create jobs. It not only fails to factor in the obvious deterrent that extended benefits have on their recipients but also falsely assumes that transferring money from one pocket to the next generates more spending - by some mythical multiple factor, no less. Back on planet Earth, studies reveal that extending unemployment benefits results in more unemployment.” PeopleEarthJobsNextNamesResultsCompassionStudyFailingEconomicPlanetsBenefitsAssumingObviousSpendingEndlessTheologyFactorsPocketsMultipleUnemploymentExtensionsPlanet EarthExtendingDeterrentUnemployment Benefits Author:David Limbaugh
