Teach Yourself
“No one is ever really taught by another
each of us has to teach himself.
The external teacher offers only the suggestion,
which arouses the internal teacher,
who helps us to understand things.”
Swami Vivekananda
From “Yoga Gems” edited by Georg Feuerstein

Oh, yes! I just read his biography, Swami Vivekananda I mean, I also visited his ancestral house here in Kolkata. I love his teaching! 🙂 I have always thought that as a teacher your most important thing is to inspire and help children and adults to think for themselves and to explore without judgement! 🙂 Thank you for this post! 🙂 ❤

Self reflection is so important. In the beginning of my journey I thought I had to read the words of all the masters to find myself……but they just kept telling me to find myself………and I did! ….not saying it was easy to understand this concept while I still so attached to ego….but it seems laughingly simple now!

We never expect to find wisdom inside of us do we?
All the good things are external. And so we seek for the answers there.
Looking back I thought I would “get it” if I studied and absorbed and practiced just like them.
The one day we come across one wisdom like this … and when we are ready. We recognize the truth.
Thanks ISWH!

This blog came to life one morning in 2013. I woke up with these words in my mind: “Life is a series of highs and lows. Be grateful for the highs. Be graceful in the lows. And find contentment in your Middle Ground.”
Find Your Middle Ground blog started to explore, reflect, ask deep questions, share insights about awakening, and connect with wonderful people like yourself. Thank you for being here and being such an inspiration.
