So much to express, so little I can transfer into words this very moment...
I'm engaged in one of those pivotal life-affirming/altering wondrous experiences and I wanted to share something I just read that sums it up quite nicely.
"The essential purpose of yoga practice is to reduce avidyā (literally, incorrect comprehension, a kind of fog that clouds true sight) so that understanding can gradually come to the surface. But how can we know whether we have seen and understood things clearly? When we see the truth, when we reach a level that is higher than our normal everyday understanding, something deep within us is very quiet and peaceful. Then there is a contentment that nothing can take from us. It is not the kind of satisfaction derived from gazing at a beautiful object. It is much more than this. It is a satisfaction deep within us that is free from feeling and judgment."
