Greetings Yogis and
Yoginis,
This week in class
we will be exploring discriminative knowledge.
Goodness is the
only investment which never fails.
– Henry David Thoreau
Discrimination is
the precious capacity to see the difference between what is pleasant for the mom ent and what is fulfilling always. Today we are
surrounded by a bewildering array of glittering lifestyles and models of
behavior, most of which deliver just the opposite of what they promise. We need
to make wise choices every mom ent
just to keep from being swept away. For a long time, these choices are not
easy. Often they go against the grain of our conditioning. It takes real
courage and endurance to go on making such choices day in and day out. But once
you begin to taste the freedom it brings, you will find a fierce joy in
choosing something of lasting benefit.
Words to Live By:
Inspiration for Every Day – Eknath Easwaran
The homework is
to study Yoga Sutra II:26 which translates as "The ceaseless flow of
discriminative knowledge in thought, word and deed destroys ignorance, the
source of pain" - BKS
Iyengar. Mr. Iyengar notes that the
seeds of false knowledge are to be burnt up through uninterrupted Yogic
practices. Ask yourself what it means to
have uninterrupted Yogic practices and how discriminative intelligence is
different than ordinary understanding?
