The Running Sutras - Verse 9:1



The Blessed Lord Said:

I am the source of all things,
and all things emerge from me;
knowing this, wise men worship
by entering my state of being.
                                          (Bhagavad Gita 10:8)

~
To know the path - our steps grow intimate
with the distance of their
travel.

There is no separation.

  • Running is our return to the primordial state of boundlessness - we are more ourselves in motion, our mind grown still as the breath lengthens - we recognize the paradox of Being. We are infinite, and yet confined to path and body. We run, and find stillness in our motion. Running is the recognition of our existence - we are the sum, as well as a part - of everything.
 Peace,
Eric
