QUESTION:
Can you identify the difference in Mindset among the following pictures taken from my own version of a WF Lifestyle?

test photo #1: Inner workouts far outweigh any physical workouts throughout my life, working my Training Mala during Mantra Practice

test photo #2: the morning of Sunday’s State Nordic Championships, doing Neti (Nasal Washing) as per part of my Early Morning Ritual DVD.

Test Photo #3: Engaging WF Yogi Squat and Non-Dominant Hand Practice during laundry folding

Test Photo #4: finishing just off the lead pack at the end of the Bike Up during the Mt. Taylor Winter Quadrathlon the Saturday before last. photo by Bruce Nagaan.

ANSWER:
Absolutely none.

Adjust your spine and lower your breath if you have dared read this far without already doing so.

Now Listen:

“Just as Buddha said that of all the buddhas who attained enlightenment, not one accomplished it without relying on the master, he also said: “It is only through devotion, and devotion alone, that you will realize the absolute truth.”

So then, it is essential to know what real devotion is. It is not mindless adoration; it is not abdication of your responsibility to yourself, nor indiscriminately following of another’s personality or whim. Real devotion is an unbroken receptivity to the truth. Real devotion is rooted in an awed and reverent gratitude, but one that is lucid, grounded, and intelligent.”
– Sogyal Rinpoche

May your Practice today result in Nirvana Within The M(om)ent,
for there is no other place where it can…
