Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; for it becomes your destiny.
Goal of Life
(reggae style)
Verse 1:
Updog, downdog, locust, cobra
I am doing Hatha Yoga
Move over
Ignorance and fear
Camel, bow, headstand
I’m nurturing the inner man
I’m no fan
Of homemade violence
Climb:
I’m not trying to lose weight
Just craving peace like hell for heaven’s sake!
Chorus
The goal is not to be remembered
Our self-image must be surrendered
The goal is to reunite
With all creation, with all of life.
Verse 2:
Control the breath with pranayama
Tame the senses – pratyahara
Live for NOW
Not for tomorrow
Yoga becomes a Broadway show
If we don’t drop the ego
And see the Lord
In everyone we know
Climb:
Phony baloney Yoga is a joke
Without love for God it’s Holy Smoke!
Chorus
The goal is not to be remembered
Our self-image must be surrendered
The goal is to reunite
With all creation, with all of life.
Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart … Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.
– Carl Jung
