💝Love Yogi - Marvel Green💚
His parents gave him the name Marvel. As a first name. His last name was Green. So his name was Marvel Green. Although his parents meant well, it was a disaster for Marvel. The kids laughed at him all his childhood. He enjoyed a lot of jokes with his name.
His father explained that they named him that because he felt he would be made for great things. That he would become a superhero.
Marvel had to laugh at that. He didn't even know if his father and mother were serious or if it was meant as a joke, because they were both very fat and took life with an incredible sense of humor. They were warm-hearted people, seriously overweight, who were in no hurry to go anywhere.
And Marvel was exactly like them. He gained weight quickly as a little boy and remained overweight practically all the time.
He didn't mind. He lived his slow, peaceful life, from meal to meal, and in between he liked to just aimlessly lounge around, lie around, rest, take a nap or read. He became a little fullhearted fat boy and so even when the whole class laughed at him he didn't take offense and laughed with them. He was a good boy by nature. He studied just fine and when finished all the schools it was time for him to choose a job.
"Well, boy, what about you? You have to do something," his father said to him. "We'll find you some quiet job and that's it."
Marvel just shrugged indifferently, smiled heartily and stuffed half of the baguette into his mouth. He chewed it all with pleasure and then stuffed the other half into his mouth. And he was happy.
However, this did not save him from starting work.
His father worked in a bank, in a quiet place, and he arranged an equally warm and peaceful place for Marvel. So Marvel went to work, and his quiet, slow life, filled with comfort and food, continued.
But then it happened. Marvel found a girlfriend. A plump blonde with blue eyes. And she started to literally turn his life upside down. Although she was quite plump, she was full of energy and always wanted to do something.
And so Marvel, if he wanted to keep her love, followed her to many parties and cinemas and theatres and concerts and galleries - he simply began to live a completely different life than before.
After the end of working hours, Margaret - that was his girlfriend's name - was already waiting for him and together they went to have fun. Marvel took it with ease. He immediately looked for food everywhere and when he eat all it up he was satisfied.
And because Margaret soon started to get annoyed with all of that, she left him.
And then another blow came. Marvel was fired from his job. And the reason? Because he was always sitting around, eating, not active, you could say he was lazy, his work had not been finished and his colleagues had to do it for him.
His father was quite upset: "For God's sake, Marvel! I got you the easiest job in the world, and you can't keep this easy job? What's going to happen to you? What are you going to do? What are you going to do for a living?"
Marvel just smiled at these words and stuffed half a baguette into his mouth. He chewed it with pleasure and then stuffed the other half into his mouth. And he was happy.
His parents recognized that they couldn't do anything with Marvel, so Marvel just sat at home, took support from the state, let himself be fed, and beamed with contentment and happiness. Everyone condemned him to the role of a slacker and freeloader, but Marvel didn't care because he knew his stuff.
He ate and sat around, read a lot, and enjoyed watching YOUTUBE. And once on YouTube he came across a lecture by a wise man. The lecture said:
Listen, in this special yoga, there is no need for the slightest effort or exertion.
The state of the yogi who is oriented by love is simple effortlessness. While yogis of other schools must always make some effort to introvert, that is, to look within, the bhakta does not have to do ANYTHING, and does not do anything - he simply allows his love, the divine principle, being, consciousness and bliss, to penetrate within him as deeply as possible.
THAT IS EVERYTHING.
The Bhakti Yogi all the time, over and over again, internally - with understanding - SMILES AT HIS DIVINE PRESENCE, in his spiritual heart, which he knows exists and lives behind all thoughts.
Friends, try this beautiful exercise for yourself. Even before it becomes a daily habit, much sooner you will recognize, in fact, you will find with joy that the second, deep inner pole of your existence is somehow approaching you by itself...
"That's it!" Marvel exclaimed. "That's exactly me. That's what I want to do. That's going to be my life." And he immediately went to his father and told him: "Dad, don't worry about anything. I already have a job. I'm going to be a BHAKTI-YOGI."
His father was not quite happy at this, but knowing that he couldn't do anything with Marvel anyway, he supported him in this.
And Marvel returned to the room with enthusiasm, sat down in an armchair, opened his crisps, started munching on them, and the thought crossed his mind: "Okay. I'm a BHAKTI-YOGI now. But what next? As the sage said... I have nothing to do - just radiate love."
And so this evening, as usual, Marvel did nothing, but unlike other evenings, he tried to radiate love.
After an hour, he stopped enjoying it: "Damn, it's useless, shining here for myself. I'm going to shine among people. And among people I won't do anything, which is what a true bhakti-yogi does, and I'll shine love there!"
So Marvel got up, which was admirable considering his laziness, and went to one of the cafes he and Margaret frequented. There he sat down, ordered three cakes, a coffee with almost half a sugar bowl in it, and just sat there, beaming with love, thinking, "Now I'm a real BHAKTI-YOGI. I like it. I'm going to do this for the rest of my life. It's a great job."
And after an hour, he stopped enjoying "shining" and went home.
And the next day he went to another café and shone, and the next day to another where he shone, and so it went on for several weeks - until Marvel ran out of money. His father said to him: "Marvel, I can't support you anymore. You have to get a job. You have to try harder..."
"I have a job, father," Marvel settled him down: "I am a BHAKTI-YOGIN!"
The father shook his head at this and, since he had a good heart and took life with humor, he went to have a drink with his wife so that he wouldn't have to watch how stupid and lazy his son was.
And fate intervened again. Marvel find another lecture from the wise man he had liked so much some time ago, and his next piece of wisdom changed his life again:
"That's it!" Marvel cheered: "More love, more work! I have to try harder, as my father said," and he immediately set off for the park to radiate as much love as possible. He no longer had the money to sit in cafes, so he shone on the benches in the parks. And then it happened. Because Marvel was warm-hearted and truly good-natured, people liked to sit on the benches near him. Several of them got used to the time when Marvel came to "shine" and came too.
And so they just sat together and since they already knew each other by sight, they started greeting each other and later they started talking. And Marvel, in between talking, explained to them what he did. He explained that he was a bhakti-yogin and explained what BHAKTI YOGA, or the yoga of love, actually is. And the few people on the benches liked it. And so they decided that they would also be BHAKTI-YOGINES.
And so they came to the park every day and shone together with Marvel. And their energy of love, goodness, warmth and well-being attracted other people to the park. And they stopped, they were happy to stay and the BHAKTI-YOGIS explained to them what they were doing, and what BHAKTI YOGIS was. Many passers-by liked it so much that they started coming to the park too, and together with the BHAKTI-YOGIS they "shined," and many of them became other BHAKTI-YOGIS.
And their energy of love, goodness, warmth and well-being attracted other people to the park. And they stopped, enjoyed staying and the BHAKTI-YOGIS explained to them what they were doing, and what BHAKTI YOGIS was. And other passers-by liked it so much that they started coming to the park too, and together with the BHAKTI-YOGIS they "shined," and many of them became other BHAKTI-YOGIS.
And their energy of love, goodness, warmth and well-being grew stronger and attracted other people to the park. And they stopped, enjoyed staying, and the BHAKTI-YOGIS explained to them what they were doing, and what BHAKTI YOGI is. And many passers-by liked it so much that they started coming to the park too, and together with the BHAKTI-YOGIS they "shined," and many of them became other BHAKTI-YOGIS.
And their energy of love, goodness, warmth and well-being was already so powerful that it easily attracted other people to the park. And they stopped, enjoyed staying and the BHAKTI-YOGIS explained to them what they were doing and what BHAKTI YOGI is. And many passers-by liked it so much that they started coming to the park too, and together with the BHAKTI-YOGIS they "shined," and many of them became other BHAKTI-YOGIS...
And so it went on and on. People were attracted to each other like magnets. And the energy of goodness and love spread until it soon filled the entire city of NEW YORK. People talked about "Love Yoga" and it gained more supporters. Courses and centers began to be established all over America. Marvel Green became a great GURU and supporters of BHAKTI-YOGA began to pay him big money for common shining, because they wanted to repay him somehow. Marvel Green thus became a very rich person and a celebrity. He began to appear in the media and describe what Bhakti Yoga is. He had great success everywhere, thanks to his warmth, and Love Yoga became a huge hit. And from America this fashion wave spread to the whole world.
To South America, African countries, Europe and also Asia, which was not surprising, because the radiation of love creates a universal energy that every person understands and the more people share it, the greater its power.
And so love, through BHAKTI-YOGA, conquered the world. And it was good. Our planet Earth then started to shine throughout the universe and it was a joy to live on it. And at the beginning of it all was the fat guy Marvel Green, who simply decided not to suppress his nature, did not let himself be broken by the rush of time, the rules of mammon and matter, and believed in what God created him for. And his task was to spread the Yoga of Love among people. And Marvel succeeded in this perfectly.
💚💖🧘♀️ The Happy loving End 🧘♂️💖💚
