Samadhi.

What is it this mysterious thing? This pot of gold at the end of the Yogic rainbow?

Striving for enlightenment gives the ego something to do.

If you use your imagination and 'wonder' for a while - 'What is this thing called enlightenment?'

After you have done this for ten minutes or an hour bring your awareness to this very moment and ask - 'What am I missing?'

It really is 'the mind' or at least 'the thinking faculty' or ego that seems to have all the power.

'WE' - that is the great seer - the 'EYE' consciousness - the big 'I' consciousness - is with us all the time - it is in the background - ALL THE TIME - waiting to be re-discovered.

Meanwhile the 'small' eye is compulsively victimising us for not being good enough - fit enough - clever enough - enough - enough- enough.

The act of surrender and deep letting go is aided by Asana - Pranayama etc.

BUT - these things are not especially necessary - ASANA is only one eighth part of the Yogic whole.

Don't waste energy - Do what you need to do for the highest energy return.

There is a big difference between 'energised' relaxation and tiredness - between peace and depression. Omzz
