WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH LESLIE HOWARD
Hi All,
I had a great vacation. i studied yoga with Judith Lasater and Patricia Walden and the Bhagavad Gita with Edwin Bryant. It was truly inspiring. For those of you not familiar with the Bhagavad Gita it is the spiritual book of Hinduism. Although i am not a hindu, i appreciate some of this wisdom. Here is one quote from the book about yoga that i really liked.
"When the disciplined mind rests in its own nature,
and desire for
objects no longer exists,
it is said that one is settled in yoga.
As a light does not flicker in a windless place,
so the mind is likened to be of that yogi
who practises unity with the Self.
When his thought, stilled by yoga, wholly ceases,
and the self exults in consciousness perceiving consciousness;
when, beyond the senses, his purified
intellect apprehends endless bliss
and, fixed in this state, doesn't move from it;
when, experiencing
this, he considers
there exists no greater to be experienced,
and he knows that established in it,
no sorrow could unseat him from it -
this state is called yoga, which severs
all union with sorrow;" book 6 B.G.
Alot to think about i know but quite beautiful. I encourage you all to pick it up sometime, it is a short but dense book.
For those of you that are looking for a little less esoteric teachings, we have the......
