Grateful daily for the many blessings that yoga has brought us, as the news cycle continues. I return to the Sutras of Patanjali which underpin the practice and the path. Transmitted orally thousands of years ago, they may seem to have a little relevance to our present circumstances. However, their broad sweep includes guidance regarding the yogic approach to dealing with the “unholy”.
“By sympathy for the happy, compassion for the sorrowful, delight in the holy disregard of the unholy, the psychic nature moves to gracious peace.” This interpretation from Charles Johnston (Book one, Sutra 33) continues to support me, and perhaps you too.
How do you deal with “the unholy”? The “happy”? The “sorrowful”? Ki to Happiness moves toward gracious peace.
