The Yoga Sutras of
Pantajali serve as one philosophical backbone of Hinduism.
The text is not as
ancient as others, it was written about 200yrs after the death of Jesus.
Patanjali was a
guru; older Hindu texts do not emphasize the guru as much.
Guru means,
"Person who helps to clear away debris."
I like how it
references the Seen and the Unseen.
The Seen is what has
already happened.
The Unseen has not
yet happened.
Yoga means Universe.
Pantajali says the
whole of the universe exists in the here and now.
Sutra means to sew.
As we practice yoga,
we are sewing our bodies into the fabric of the universe.
Kame Sutra, means to
sew carnal nature into the fabric of the universe.
So, in the context
of sewing things into the universe, I will reflect today upon:
What will I endeavor
to do?
What will I endeavor
not to do?
