Heredity from a Yoga Viewpoint

The following quote is from How to Know God - The Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali - translated with a commentary by Swami Probhavananda and Christopher Isherwood:

"'Heredity,' from the yoga viewpoint, may be only another way of saying that the individual soul is driven by existing samskaras [tendencies, potentialities, and latent states which exist in the subconscious and unconscious areas of the mind] to seek rebirth in a certain kind of family, of parents whose samskaras are like its own, and thereby to 'inherit' the tendencies which it already possesses." - p.19

You - Margaret Silf

Where you are (however unchosen) is the place of blessing.
How you are (however broken) is the place of grace.
Who you are, in your becoming, is your place in the Kingdom.

~ Margaret Silf

Intelligence - Krishnamurti

Accept - then act... - Eckhart Tolle

"Accept - then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it.  Always work with it, not against it...This will miraculously transform your whole life." 

~ Eckhart Tolle
