The top of the band would be happiness, contentment and peace of mind.

Happiness will come through the practice of yoga and Buddhism, that happiness is not something you will lose at the end of this lifetime. It will stay with you.

The void is ready to snatch you up like a Pac Man machine and Laskshmi is on vacation. You chant Sring - and you get her answering machine.

Go through the things that life gives you to go through, happily. You have to loosen the grip of time, gradually.

Well, what is God, then? God is that which watches. God is neither masculine nor feminine, although God can assume any form. God is that eternal reality that is in everything.

Enlightenment is cumulative. You become a little more enlightened each day as you practice yoga and Buddhism.

Perception not only defines existence but it creates existence. It gives it form. Without perception there is no existence.
