The Running Sutras - Verse 6:1

The Blessed Lord Said:

Listen, Arjuna: I will tell you

how you can know me beyond doubt

by practicing nonattachment

and surrendering yourself to me.

                                            (Bhagavad Gita 7:1)

~

We know the path through running - our

steps given freely to something

larger than ourselves.

The infinite waits for our surrender.

• Distance strips a runner to bare essentials - a single step is our deliverance - and the trivial is discarded with every passing mile. We willingly give away the self we thought we knew. There is something larger lurking at the edge of thought - just beyond - another world, the infinite, the Self. Our steps will take us there.

 Peace,

Eric
