Autumn
The quiet hour (Brahma Muhurta) is the traditional time for practice, just before sunrise.
प्रातिभाद्वा सर्वम्
prātibhād vā sarvam
Or, through intuition, everything can be known.
Yoga Sutras 3.34 · verse 140 of 196
Unfolding the thread
Everything in this list can also come in another way: through prātibha, a flash of intuition that arrives unbidden. Patanjali leaves the door open. Some knowing doesn't come through method at all.
Try today
Leave one space in your day with nothing to do. Notice whether an insight arrives by itself.
The Echo
The same truth, heard in another tradition
“The soul answers never by words, but by the thing itself that is inquired after.”
