Greetings Sadhakas,
This week in class we are exploring making a commitment to practicing.
They live in
wisdom who see themselves in all and all in them, who have renounced every
selfish desire and sense craving tormenting the heart.
– Bhagavad
Gita
The Gita's
hypothesis is that it is possible, by mastering the thinking process, to leave
behind unwanted habits and negative thoughts. To accomplish this, the Gita outlines
a daily course of training in which we acquire conscious control of our
attention, strengthening our will at such a deep level of the unconscious that
no compulsive desire or addiction can sweep us away. What is the predicted result?
When your will is linked to your intellect at the very depths of your
personality, you discover yourself as you really are - secure, wise,
compassionate, and intimately connected with all of life.
Words to Live By:
Inspiration for Every Day – Eknath Easwaran
The homework is to create your own
"daily course of training" that includes the eight fold path of Yoga
(http://www.rushingwateryoga.com/eight_limbs_poster_may2014.pdf). Commit to
practicing something everyday for 21 days. Start slow and be consistent. Work
to penetrate deep into your own psyche and see what happens. Experiment!
Blessings,
