Hi to everyone,
I’m José Pedro Valente, from Carcavelos, Portugal, and wanted to share this with you.
During the 2022/23 winter break, I didn’t go to India. Every day I was doing my practice, morning every day, evening, I must confess, not every day.
After some days, I began to miss Sadvidya’s activities, Saturday practice and lectures, Samskrta and Yoga Sutra classes and all other events. I realized how much Sadvidya, in global, had become part of my life.
And I was missing it.
So I went to the Sadvidya website to try to connect further to Ācārya’s lectures and teachings and began to listen again to the Public lectures – The Purpose of Human Life.
At the end of the 2nd lecture, I found this precious gem, that I wanted to share with you as an expression of my gratitude.
Although you probably have heard it already, it is such a simple message, and yet so powerful and inspiring.
I now have it in front of me, every time I do my practice.
Here goes…

If you are really interested, stop all your actions, sit quiet, close your eye, forget the whole world. Be secured, sit in some place where it is secured. Close your eye and then try to silence your mind. The biggest problem is to silence your mind. You can keep the external environment silent but whereas internally it is very noisy – the mind is very noisy. Try once. You will become really the real hero. Even it is greater than hiking hundred mountains and crossing oceans. So once one should try.
