Autumn
The quiet hour (Brahma Muhurta) is the traditional time for practice, just before sunrise.
तस्य हेतुरविद्या
tasya hetur avidyā
The cause of that entanglement is ignorance.
Yoga Sutras 2.24 · verse 75 of 196
Unfolding the thread
Four words, and the knot is named. What ties awareness to what it sees is not-knowing, the forgetting of what we really are. Remove the forgetting, and the knot loosens by itself.
Try today
Before sleep tonight, remind yourself: "I am not my thoughts; I am the one who knows them."
The Echo
The same truth, heard in another tradition
“The lock of error shuts the gate, open it with the key of love: Thus, by opening the door, thou shalt wake the Beloved.”
