I always believed a true yogi is the one who “never consciously did anything to make an impact or carve out a niche for himself in the annals of history“. My experiences in the search for true yogi in my “self” and in others were quite disappointing. Today I found some one surrounded by authentic greatness and accessibility. He always lets everybody have a chance and never disappoints anyone. He didn’t have the time ‘yet’ to gain an intellect that creates problems or takes one through a miserable journey trying to solve them. The one key difference between him and the great maharishi’s is the physical/mental stillness. I see him and all my questions fly away!
I have had minimal experience as a yoga teacher, however it was always difficult to teach asanas to new people, especially the ones with lack of awareness about their body. I had the privilege of teaching this “true yogi” how to prepare for a head stand. He did it with such ease, and evoked a world of un-expected splendor before my eyes and walked away to perform other activities.
A sense of playfulness and happiness surrounded me and I wanted to be a child again.
