Quiet of the mind...

There is a story about time that goes something like this ....
Once there were three yogi's meditating in the Himilayas. Ten years had pasted when the first yogi opened his eyes and said, 'Geez, it's a little cold!'. He closed his eyes and began meditating again. Ten years passed and the second yogi opened his eyes. He said, 'Yes, it is a little cold isn't it!'. He closed his eyes and again began meditating. Again ten years passed before the third yogi opened his eyes and said, 'Will you two shutup!!!'. And so the concept of time was a large focus of our studies today with an acknowledgement to that which is 'the interpreter and the interpreted'....
A heated day I tell you!
One of the Swedes shared that she was born in Pakistan at which Kausthub joined in that they must have a connection through brothers and sisters!' HAHAHA Always with a quick one he is!
I am beginning to get an idea of the depth of the Sutras and their profound ability and application in all areas of life. It is astounding to know that they were written thousands of years ago and yet they are just as accurate and flexible in their description of our humanity.
As we move forward the conversations are more dynamic and the understanding and clarification that they are NOT religious in their translation or writing is breaking down walls so to speak. It is definitely causing the 'crowd' to surrender all that was brought so as to here the real story that Patanjali saw, understood and shared somewhere in a time when such 'light' was uninterrupted from the distraction of our modern 'progression'! HAHAHAH
Be well dear ones...
