Yoga and Finance


Sunday afternoon, sitting in the shade beside the Ashcroft neighborhood pool about 6 PM, still plenty of sun. June 26 is near the summer solstice. This is the period with plenty of light. Reminds me a bit of the summer in the Arctic, the sun never went all the way down; it turned up in the afternoon.

And now a few notes and quotes on Yoga and Finance from Gurudev
-- Sri Swami Satchidananda

A.   Have fun with finance (fun-ance). Being comfortable is no worry about how to pay the bills. Don't spend so much and find it hard to pay the bills. Then you're comfortable.

B.    Respect everyone and everything, also money which is a form of God. See all and everything as manifestations of that cosmic consciousness; this is Yoga.

C.   You can apply Yoga to all that you do. You can be a good business person and a good Yogi.

    D.  Re borrowing money – if it’s for a good purpose, okay. Not for luxuries, but       
         for a good reason -- and know you'll pay it back.
        Don't depend on the loan alone, or you feel lonesome.

    E. Budget your life, budget money, budget everything. Know how much you     
    can get, and how much you can have; how much to save (maybe 20% as
    Joseph taught). And know how much to spend -- within certain limits

Thanks Gurudev
