” The Yogi understands the faults of others by seeing and studying them first in himself. This self-study teaches him to be charitable to all.”

***
Namaste Noble Warriors,

as we begin to Awaken to deeper dimensions of our Yoga Practice, we start to See things differently.
Feel things differently.
Make choices based on a degree of inner spaciousness instead of compulsion, conditioning, or reaction.

as we create space and strength within the fabric of our bodies,
we also create space and strength within our understanding of why some people choose to sweat and practice
stillness,
while others do everything they can, or so it seems, not to.

below, one of my certified WF Teachers uses a wonderful inSight from Swami Iyengar to
help one of his students understand an addiction challenge that is causing difficulty in a relationship.

Joy and i look forward to seeing you tomorrow night at the “Practice Cave,”
to take another Step onward,
upward,
and endlessly
inward.

that is all…

namaste,

“Upeksa: It is not merely a feeling of disdain or contempt for the person who has fallen into vice (apunya) or one of indifference or superiority towards him. It is a searching self-examination to find out how one would have behaved when faced with the same temptations. It is also an examination to see how far one is responsible for the state into which the unfortunate one has fallen and the attempt thereafter to put him on the right path. The Yogi understands the faults of others by seeing and studying them first in himself. This self-study teaches him to be charitable to all.”
