The Running Sutras - Verse 7:1


Freedom is union with the deathless;
the Self is the essence of all things;
its creative power, called action,
causes the whole world to be.
                                        (Bhagavad Gita 8:3)

~
From stillness - we are expressed as motion. Our steps a
continuous sweep of space and time.
Yet stillness we
remain.

We run - to caress the world in motion.

  • We run not just to realize the Self through distance - but to rejoice in every subtle recognition of the Self we find along the way. Motion is simply spirit seeking to know itself in contrast. In the realization of Self we become boundless in our expression and our every step is an exploration of our creative power. There is joy in Being and this simply can't be contained. The world exists for the pleasure of our Being.
 Peace,
Eric
