“sat u dirgha kala nairantarya satkara sevito drdhabhumih” Yoga Sutras
“Practice becomes firmly grounded
on being continued over a long period of time without interruption and with
sincere devotion”
I am not a great believer in Saturday
Night epiphanies. I worry about Monday. There is no big secret. A lot of what
we need to know is freely available. The challenge is embodying the right
behaviours and building a daily practice. Not what you do today. What you do
day after day. Firm grounding requires time. A long time. The key isn’t whether
you can maintain your practice if the conditions are perfect. The key is
whether you are able to sustain your practice through the chaos. In the real
world. With all its distractions and challenges. Practice and Non-attachment.
Solving problems without becoming overwhelmed by them. Epiphanies are more
useful when they are the realisation of something that is already there. Has
been built up over a long time. Is there to stay. Sustainably.
