Throw a drop of water on a hot pan and watch it sizzle… have you ever seen the mighty ocean squirm like that? A volcano may erupt in its depths and yet not a ripple registers on the surface. Such unshakeable depth, such unruffled serenity… a wave here, a breaker there – and all is still. A perfect complement to the limitless sky above…
The experience after meditation and yoga is identical. One gets a glimpse of the quiet within – so balanced and stable it is that external events cannot even make a dent. This is no theory – it is pure experience. After I finished my yoga, Kriya and meditation yesterday, I left for work. The traffic was annoying (fairly usual for Atlanta – sigh) and there were the usual laggers – folks who drive at 30 mph, cradling their cellphone or applying makeup. Usually, I expend copious amounts of ire towards these people. However, yesterday was refreshingly different. I felt nothing. I just changed my lane and moved on. It is difficult to describe the sheer solidity of the space inside. You feel like nothing can touch you…

Very true. If you can balance ur inner self with your outer self, balance the energies, I think one can feel lot more peaceful than normal.
