Greetings Sadhakas,
This week in class
we will be exploring the unity
that embraces us all.
If your heart were
sincere and upright, every creature would be unto you a looking-glass of
life and a book of holy doctrine.
– Thomas a Kempis
The pure in spirit,
who see God, see her here and now: in her handiwork, her hidden purpose, the
wry humor of her creation. The Lord has left us love notes scattered extravagantly
across creation. Hidden in the eye of the tiger, the wet muzzle of a calf, the
delicacy of the violet, and the perfect curve of the elephant's tusk is a very personal,
priceless message.
Watch the lamb in
awkward play, butting against its mother's side. See the spider putting the
final shimmering touches on an architectural wonder. And absorb a truth that is
wordless. The grace of a deer, the soaring freedom of a sparrow hawk in flight,
the utter self-possession of an elephant crashing through the woods - in every
one of these there is something of ourselves. From the great whales in the blue
Pacific to the tiniest of tree frogs in the Amazon basin, unity embraces us all.
Words to Live By:
Inspiration for Every Day – Eknath Easwaran (paraphrased to change gender)
The homework is
to see how your Yoga practices invite you IN to explore the unity of life. Learn how to notice the unity that embraces
us all through your practices. This can
only come from your own experience as a practitioner.
