What is real? In our day-to-day lives, we often rely on what we can see and touch, yet the physical world can sometimes lead us astray. In today’s digital age, with AI and the internet constantly available (when our friends, family, counselors, or healers may not be), we now have tools to explore not only intellectual questions but also deeply spiritual ones. In times past, these kinds of inquiries were reserved for clergy, sages, or gurus. But now, in this era of self-inquiry, perhaps we need to trust that we will know when and where to find the answers to our most complex inner questions.
In yogic philosophy, the material world and all physical matter is known as prakriti, and it is recognized as binding. It’s easy to get entangled in its pull and lose sight of our deeper path. We can get caught up in managing life with minds clouded by constant thought, and then forget our true nature and our purpose here. Yet, evolution of the self demands a higher vision—one that rises above distraction and illusion.
Let’s be gentle with judgement, both of ourselves and of others. It diverts us from a life rich in connection and wonder. Remember the meaning of Namaste? It means “I see you and I bow to the divine within you”. To truly honor another is to recognize the light and the dark, the beauty and the flaws, and see beyond what’s merely physical. It is to value each other as sacred beings in this ever-complex material world.
Though we may not be together in this moment physically, I am grateful for your presence in this shared space, this community.
Namaste
