Greetings Yogis and Yoginis,
This week in class we are considering the topic “Making Progress.”
Conquering Complacency
Develop the type of personality that feels you are endlessly exploring new mystic secrets. Do not become too content with what you have accomplished in Yoga. Do not become complacent by developing the idea that you have practiced a lot of meditation and have developed a lot of wonderful qualities and have studied the scriptures. Never think that you have done all that is to be done on the spiritual path. This is a great error.
- Swami Jyotirmayananda
The homework is to consider where you are on your spiritual path. While the Yoga philosophy encourages one to have a spiritual path it is not a pre-requisite for the practice of Yoga. Wherever you are on your path consider deepening your understanding and practice of what you have already explored before exploring new ground. Finally, consider how the practices of Yoga can help you in this process of discovery.
Blessings,
paul cheek
