Bapuji Wisdom – Listen to Yourself

Posted on September 28, 2008 by Keri Douglas Leave a comment

Bapuji, a gentle 86 year old yogi, sat peacefully on a folded chair sharing life’s lessons with twenty yoga students.

With respect each student leaned forward not wanting to miss a word. But, Bapuji said loudly and clearly, “Don’t listen to me. Listen to yourself.”

With shocking honesty – Bapuji reminded everyone that they each know their own truth. The ultimate truth in the first minute of the $30 workshop. What could possibly be delivered next?
