Einstein enacting the concept of leela.
I’ve been storing up ideas during the last few weeks, as I waited for Laurie and Lisa to transfer the helm to me. One of those ideas came upon me recently when I saw a special edition magazine about Albert Einstein. The articles on its cover were all scientific and piqued my interest, but what I found the most interesting in the magazine after bringing it home and perusing it, was the very first article, an essay written by Einstein himself. I was surprised at Einstein’s humble, down to earth philosophy.
Here’s a quote:
“I have never looked upon ease and happiness as ends in themselves — this critical basis I call the ideal of a pigsty. The ideals that have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth.”
If you’d like to read more here’s the link.
Namaste.

My husband gave me a book about Einstein as a Christmas gift a few years ago and I’ve been touched by what a great yogi he actually was.
