Few days back, a friend of mine said "Budhapa aa gaya" (old age has come) over some issue. I was so surprised to see such words coming from a person in her late twenties. What we believe happens so people should be careful in putting negative affirmations.
On the other hand we have example of people like Baba Ramdev (with 50+ age) whose stamina can easily put even young people to shame. We also have countless examples of people with 100+ age completing a full marathon of 42kms.
It seems that "Age is not in numbers" but its an attitude. People may have aged body but may have enthusiasm of a young boy and the opposite is also possible.
Inspired by Vedanta, I always take notice of whatever affirmations I am making and try to keep enthusiasm alive. Yoga certainly helps a lot in this regard . Was invited for a dinner on tuesday night in one corner of the city. My friends were amazed when I decided to return back on skates and covered a distance of around 20 kms to return home. Solo night skating was an amazing experience and it being on banks of River mainz was a meditative experience.
Vedanta says that a powerful mind can achieve whatever it wants and even the physical world is believed to be an expansion of mind. Glory to mother India and it's saints that they have given the world a tool in form of yoga to understand and overcome the mind and not merely to stay fit.
