The Running Sutras - Verse 5:2

When a man has mastered himself,

he is perfectly at ease in cold,

in heat, in pleasure or pain,

in honor or in disgrace.

                               (Bhagavad Gita 6:7)

~

We are stillness in a

world of motion -

Even as our steps are given to the

currents of the stride.

We remain in our perfection.

 

• Mastery is simply realization of the Self within - from this vantage we are untouched by the world at large and unmoved by inner storms of emotions. We run centered in the Self, joyful in motion and unconcerned beyond path and stride for they too are the Self in full expression.

 Peace,

Eric
