The Running Sutras - Verse 5:3



However often the restless
mind may break loose and wander.
he should rein it in and constantly
bring it back to the Self.
                                   (Bhagavad Gita 6:26)


~
Our steps may wander - yet the stride remains
constant in its devotion to the
path.

There is only one direction home.

  • Our minds will wander - and yet with the infinite patience of a singular intent -we will return our thoughts upon the path. Indeed there is only one direction, an inward journey to realization of the Self. We have faith in our stride to lead us there and every step becomes a signpost full of meaning along the way. Each step could be our awakening. The path unfolds in promise.
 Peace,
Eric
