'Please' and 'Thank you' is part of human cultural values and practice, it's nothing to do with yoga...

'Please' and 'Thank you' is part of human cultural practice, it's nothing to do with yoga.

Gratitude, gratefulness and thankfulness are not necessarily has to be expressed in words like 'Please' and 'Thank you'.

Selfless actions are not influenced by human cultural values and beliefs. It is being performed regardless of whether there is politeness, acknowledgement, appreciation, gratitude, gratefulness, thankfulness, or not, before the actions, in the process of the actions, and after the actions.

If people want to say 'Please' and 'Thank you', let them be. Selfless actions are not being determined by the presence of such 'words' or 'appreciation' from anyone.

If people don't say 'Please' and 'Thank you', let them be. Selfless actions are not being determined by the absence of such 'words' or 'in-appreciation' from anyone.

If we need to hear other people to say 'Please' for us to do something for them, or to give something to them, and we will be performing such actions 'happily', then we are not really practicing yoga.

If we need to hear other people to say 'Thank you' to us for doing something for them, or giving something to them, as it will make us feel satisfied and well-worth doing, then we are not really practicing yoga either.

If it is something beneficial for everyone, even without anyone says 'Please' and 'Thank you', we will do it out of compassion.

If it is something detrimental for anybody, even somebody says 'Please' and 'Thank you', we won't do it out of compassion.

Performing all actions, free from the influence of personal human cultural values and practice, free from egoism, identification, attachment, expectation, craving and aversion, go beyond worldly cultural thinking and beliefs.

There's no 'I' existing to be 'performing' actions. There are no actions being 'performed'. There's nobody 'receiving' the fruit of selfless actions. There's no 'I' being there to be 'giving' or 'receiving'. Although there are actions deriving from the mind and the body.

The elements of fire, wind, water, earth and ether don't need any politeness, acknowledgement, appreciation, gratitude, gratefulness, thankfulness from anything and anyone to be performing their ceaseless intentionless actions influencing everything and everyone to be existing and ceased existing.

Be free.

About Yoga

Know thyself. Everything is impermanent and selfless. There is no 'I'. There is no 'I am selfless'/'I am not selfless'. There is no 'I am hurt'/'I need to be healed from hurt'. Non-blind believing, non-blind following, non-blind practicing and non-blind propagating, but be open-minded to inquire the truth of everything. Be free. Be peaceful. Be happy.
