Happiness isn't normal...

[and so it continues...]
A friend remarked thusly when I showed him this...
"academia constantly claims they've discovered some important advance (that can often be found on Page 1 of the gita or other ancient source). then debate it a few years in a byzantine ritual birddance to stake their claim in the literature. jump up & down about miniscule studies claiming something has brought us an exciting step forward to 'legitimize it with science' but many, many more studies are needed until we know for sure ;-)

meanwhile, i'm sticking to yoga. it's 1% theory and 99% practice.

heh. yeah, the Gita explained all of Quantum physics and the Upanishads put forth the General theory of relativity. Right. "Advanced Culture" the "Hindus" had, you see?

Exaggeration. That's human nature.
