🌠🎇🎆
Spiral galaxy -
Hem of the cosmic mantle.
Thrilling beyond words.

🌠🎇🎆

The Milky Way – our home – manifestation of The Father beyond creation – rather like the trail left by the sweeping of the hem of His mantle across the night sky. Our human eyes can not behold The Father – yet we are offered hints, miniscule enough for us to attempt to hold a concept. The trailing of His infinite consciousness is a concept beyond comprehension. Using the words like a parrot, having no real comprehension as to the meaning. Yet – even the writing or speaking of these words which I do not understand creates an extended sigh – wherein I melt just a bit – diminishing the separation from the whole.
With gratitude and awe for the incomprehensible love which holds you, me, all that is- in exultant dance through eternity. We are awakening to source: Sat Chit Ananda.

“English is a very impoverished language when it comes to describing these high states of consciousness. So, I’m going to jump to a Sanskrit word and then tell you how that translates into English. But the first thing to admit is that it is completely beyond words. The yogis, the masters, say: “He who knows, he knows; no-one else knows”. You cannot describe it. You have to experience it. But the word that they give to it which comes closest is ‘sat chit ananda’. Translated loosely, that means “ever-existing, ever conscious, ever new joy or bliss.” Ananda means bliss, and enlightenment means oneness with that ‘sat chit ananda’; infinite bliss, immortal bliss, all knowing, omniscient, omnipresent Bliss. ‘That is what we really are.”

Ruminiating on The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali




🧘🏾🧘🧘🏿 
Science and Yoga
Have always been the best friends.
Who woulda’ thunk it?
🧘🏾 🧘 🧘🏿


Just sayin’ - - - -

Any who study and make practical the teachings of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali understand there is no contradiction between being a practitioner of yoga and a scientist.  This continuity is one of the best kept secrets ever.  Except – it is not a secret.  You just may not realize it until you begin the serious practice yoga.

🧘🏾🧘🧘🏿 

For any who would like to begin or continue a serious study and practice of yoga, Consider THE SCIENCE OF YOGA -The Yoga-Sutras of Patanjali in Sanskrit with transliteration in Roman, translation and commentary in English. Written by I. K. Taimni.

🧘🏾🧘🧘🏿 

Of this translation of the Yoga Sutras by Taimni, Swami/Brother Achalananda (vice-president of the Self Realization Fellowship and Yogoda Satsanga Society of India) speaking during satsanga at the Lake Shrine in Pacific Palisades in California on June 14, 2015 said:

“… the best one I have found.  I had thought there was one error in it – but I was wrong.  I can find no errors in this book.  He must have had some spiritual connection to have written this translation.  This is the one translation of the ‘Yoga Sutras’ that I recommend.”
