The yoga of psychological perfection

When it comes to "cliché" behavior, have you observed how systematized some people can be? Why has our culture remained stagnant? Because we are not ready to part or come out of the accepted comfort zone - we have imposed upon us a fixed "syllabi" of life and not prepared to look further. In the Indian context, it is so funny to hear people voicing hundreds of years old clichés as they are the first ones to have said it. Our stories are the same and in the name of tradition we continue doing the same things as if it was the first time and an innovation we have just thought of. And of course every one cheers wildly. Just see the story-lines, style of acting of our films and you will understand what I am saying. Pick one average film from each year since 1950 and you will see the "formula" embedded. When it comes to “quoting” we have no equal. We so easily equate ourselves with the quotes and get lost in a very illusionary persona. It is neither easy nor simple to have a hard look at one self. This is what life is all about. We start with a list of presumptions. 162
