No Snowflakes Are Exactly The Same

"No snowflakes are exactly the same.... science tells us there is no duplication in creation,"
Living Gita, Sri Swami Satchidananda.

This tells us in so many words that all of our comparisons and self judgements are baseless and deceptive. Yes we are all given the same functions more or less, and life's journey will give us scars of all sorts which tell their stories through how we move, how we are in our bodies, in our minds and how we move through time.

What a wonderful realisation, that your yoga practice is more than what you think you used to be able to do, it's what you can do, what you will bring intention to, and your actions meeting your words.

"Walking your talk" isn't easy, and finding the "middle way" (reference from Mahayana Buddhism) is a balancing act for anyone who wishes to find that equilibrium, to try even if you fail is the best way to learn about yourself.

"It is better to do your Dharma (calling/truth) imperfectly, than someone else's perfectly."
BG Karma yoga SL35.

"Mindfulness is the clear and single minded awareness of what actually happens to us and inus at the successive moments of perception"
