Today I share with you a story that I recall from one of the evenings I spent in the Isha Yoga Ashram in Coimbatore
, India in the presence of Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev.

Today I am going to reveal to you a magic card trick that I have been using since a long time ago. I don’t remember where and how I learned this trick, most likely from a magic book.
This trick is really nice and easy to perform. Just make sure you do not perform it more than once or twice (at most) in the same setting, otherwise the participants will start to figure it out. Continue reading “The “21 Cards Magic Trick” revealed!”
I share with you an joke I read back in 2000, it is funny and I always find myself making this joke when talking about Jesus.
I hope you like it!
Jesus and Satan were having an ongoing argument about who was better on his computer. They had been going at it for days, and God was tired of hearing all of the bickering. Finally God said, “Cool it. I am going to set up a test that will run two hours and I will judge who does the better job.”
So down Satan and Jesus sat at the keyboards and typed away. They moused.
They did spreadsheets. They wrote reports. They sent faxes. They sent e-mail. They sent out e-mail with attachments. They downloaded. They did some genealogy reports. They made cards. They did every known job. But ten minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, the rain poured and, of course, the electricity went off. Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in the underworld. Jesus just sighed.The electricity finally flickered back on, and each of them restarted their computers. Satan started searching frantically, screaming “It’s gone! It’s all gone! I lost everything when the power went out!”
Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of his files from the past two hours. Satan observed this and became irate. “Wait! He cheated, how did he do it?” God shrugged and said, “Jesus saves.”

I don’t remember when exactly I came to learn about the Bhagavad Gita, probably during my second trip to India back in 2007. The Bhagavad Gita spoke to me directly, along with the hidden gems in the Mahabharata epic.
When I was still living in Belgium, I visited Radhadesh and befriended a Brahmachari. We both enjoyed each other’s company. He offered to help me while I study the Bhagavad Gita.
While I have not read the Bhagavad Gita from cover to cover, I usually open it at random and learn from it.
It has nice illustrations to explain some of the verses in the book. The picture you see in this article talks about the humble sage that sees everyone with equal vision.
I decided to call this article “Seeing with equal heart” and not “Seeing with equal vision” because I believe that vision, spiritual vision, takes place in the heart where we can choose to look at things as they are or with a mask of judgement.
Spiritual or religious teaching have roots in the human psyche and can not go out of date. I have been meaning to write about the ten commandments and how they apply in real life. In this blog post, I will list the commandments and then talk a bit, from my point of view, how I see they still apply in the 21st century.
The 10 Commandments list can be found here Exodus 20:2-17

Today, in the morning, while driving to work, I stopped at many red lights. In front of me, there was a Porsche. I began thinking.
“If I had all the money I need, would I buy a Porsche?”
I stopped and started thinking, then thought:
“I personally would not spend the money on expensive cars. I like my car, it drives well and got enough technology to my taste”
Besides, I don’t like to buy something fancy I don’t need, especially when I have a lot of money and know that there are people that cannot even afford to take the bus. When I have more money than I can spend, I believe I have responsibility to share with others.
I am always reminded of this Cabalistic teaching: “Receiving for the sake of sharing”.
