Gita Yogananda 11
Attachments are a bitch. How often do we find them in ourselves, causing discomfort, while we desperately hold onto them thinking they will someday bring us happiness? They never do. Tat Tvam Asi. You are that. This is all you need, this is "God." Your attachments prevent you from seeing this, you create your attachments, you are the only reason you can't see this. You chose to stay asleep, you refuse to wake up. You choose suffering. You are not a victim. What you're looking for is what you're looking with.
Verse 11
balaṁ balavatāṁ cāhaṁ kāmarāgavivarjitam dharmāviruddho bhūteṣu kāmo ’smi bharatarṣabha
Among the powerful, O Best of the Bharatas (Arjuna), I am the power that is free from longings and attachment. I am that desire in men which is in keeping with dharma (righteousness). It is God’s consciousness that instills the desire for liberation in wise men and the desire for good results in righteous worldly people. It is the Lord who moves the springs of actions in human beings and urges them to perform proper actions according to the scriptural injunctions of the sages. God’s power sustains the desireless renunciant. And it is His same power that creates good desires in worldly men who long for the fruits of good actions. Desire for the result of good actions neutralizes the desire for the fruits of evil actions. But superior to action inspired by good desires is nonattached, desireless, self-controlled action. The former brings only temporary merit; the latter brings liberation.

We are dedicated to building a community of like-minded people who seek spiritual growth through the use of Mindfulness and meditation and any other tricks of the trade that are beneficial in the process of becoming a better human being. Mindfulness is not a passive movement. Used properly it inspires skillful and effective action in our lives and generates material and spiritual evidence of a higher quality of life. With the continuing onslaught of our freedoms to socialize, we will soon be having weekly Zoom Mindful Meditation Meetings so that we may focus on building a strong community-based on mindfulness and individual growth. We will learn how to live with isolation, fear, anxiety so that we may continue to evolve despite horrendous lockdowns. Stay tuned. Stay Mindful Bitches.
