nature, or just free time when we don’t know

what to do with it. We get bored and want

more adventures.

Why is it like that? Because the mind is hungry.

It gets fuelled with thoughts, and it pushes us

into activities that generate thoughts. The

more complex things we work on, the more

complex thoughts we process, the more

powerful the mind gets, the more it can

control our living.

The mind always tries to take us out of

simplicity. The simpler our life gets, the more

likely it is for the thought process to stop. And

then the mind loses its dominant position.

It takes time to let your mind get mature and

appreciate simplicity. Keeping your yoga

practice easy, you move a step forward. But

aiming for complex asanas and changing your

practice every single day, you merely entertain

our mind, supply it

with thoughts, and

make it stronger.
