The Running Sutras - Verse 9:2



The Blessed Lord Said:

I am the Self, Arjuna,
seated in the heart of all beings;
I am the beginning and the life span
of beings, and their end as well.
                                            (Bhagavad Gita 10:20)

~
There is one stride - and yet
infinite steps are
taken.

The path unfolds in its perfection.

  • Distance removes false layers of identity - each step is a mantra of revelation that leads only to the Self that resided within us all. We run to remove ourselves from the unreal - the seemingly endless thoughts that hold our identity to the single point of separation. We run to know reality - there is only the Self revealed in infinite steps.
 Peace,
Eric
