“Our goal should be to live life in radical amazement. ….get up in the morning and look at the world in a way that takes nothing for granted. Everything is phenomenal; everything is incredible; never treat life casually. To be spiritual is to be amazed.”
― Abraham Joshua Heschel
Through the different stages of yoga, the yogi may encounter divine invitation from higher astral realms. Patanjali advises to remain unattached and curious, as this “test” may reveal undesirable urges within the yogi.
Think of enjoyable experiences in the external world. I sNt ittrue that the more enjoyable the experience, the more we cling to it and want to repeat it? One of the heights of the subtle experiences is the encounter and welcome of the HEAVENLY, however you may personally THINK UP such beings. Thus, it is one of the stronger distractions that we face on the inner journey. We might feel a strong EMOTIONAL response to the suggestion that we turn away from such experiences. For this reason it is essential that we continue to cultivate the discrimination to properly choose what path to follow and what to let go of (for that reason its quite helpful to go back to previous sutras, instructions and pearls of wisdom such as2.26-2.29, 3.4-3.6 to understand how to and why we stay on a certain prescribed path).
Oh dear patanjali, oh dear vedic teachins, I so very much appreciate you, I bow to you!
SUTRA 3.52 and some more creation story contemplations in this episode….
IN ANCIENT times MUSIC was the foundation of all the sciences. Education was begun with music with the persuasion that nothing could be expected of a man who was ignorant of music. MARCUS Tullius CICERO (who lived 106 to 43 Before our time count)
