The quiet hour (Brahma Muhurta) is the traditional time for practice, just before sunrise.
तदर्थ एव दृश्यस्यात्मा
tad-artha eva dṛśyasyātmā
The very nature of what is seen exists for the seer's sake.
Yoga Sutras 2.21 · verse 72 of 196
Unfolding the thread
Everything in nature, including your own body and mind, exists for the sake of awareness: to be experienced, and to lead it home. The world is, in a sense, a servant, offering itself so that we can learn.
Try today
Receive one ordinary thing today (a meal, a walk) as if it had been given to you for your growth.
The Echo
The same truth, heard in another tradition
“All things work together for good to them that love God.”
