A man is not bound by action
who renounces action through yoga,
who concentrates on the Self,
and whose doubt is cut off by wisdom.
(Bhagavad Gita 4:41)
~
We gain freedom in surrender - a letting go yet
still belonging to a whole.
And so our stride is held by the
faith of every step.
The path is vast -our steps eager to explore.
- We surrender to nothing - giving ourselves to the promise of emptiness left behind by the passing of our concerns and expectations. This is sacred space. It's the path that stretches beyond boundaries and waits for our steps to find its hallowed ground. Yet first we must make ourselves worthy - we let go of doubtful steps and find our authentic stride. It's this surrender that frees us to the Self - we are no longer bound by the smallness of the world - our stride is infinite and the path beckons us to explore. Have faith that every step is leading us beyond a simple finish line. We are more than racers - we are the Self given to a body - we are runners on an infinite quest of letting go and finding more.
Peace,
Eric
