When the uninvited guests of death and fear show up at our door, we are often thrown into a discombobulated frenzy and may even frantically and compulsively try to ignore their knocking in hopes they’ll go away. However, instead, stop and cordially invite them to your table, and they will tell you a simple truth: Life as you know it is limited; live it fully with the now you are given.
And, at the same time, try to form a daily, active relationship with that which is unchanging. It will transform your perspective again and again.
This process of union of our lower self, the ego, with our higher Self, the universal, is yoga.
