A fragment from Other Hints

Fragment

 

If I stray on my journey I go into separation.
Unhappy when far.
Happy when near.
But Nature has its ‘caprices’.
Can we live with separation for too long?


Through Yoga I observe and distinguish
my sentiments from my emotions.
The weight of emotions throws me off balance:
I peel them away and am left with
clear sentiment – my true balance.


Through Yoga I observe and distinguish
discrimination from discernment.
Discrimination puts me on the path of self-knowledge,
discernment keeps me there.


Through Yoga I learn to be close.
Through Yoga I learn to know myself.
