Yoga Means a Change of Consciousness – A Meditation on Sri Aurobindo
“Yoga is not a thing of ideas but of inner spiritual experience. Merely to be attracted to any set of religious or spiritual ideas does not bring with it any realization.

The All Important Thing – A Meditation on Sri Aurobindo
“It is not against the principle of Yogic life to know what is happening in the world—what is unyogic is to be attached to these things and not be able to do without them or to think of them as a matter of importance. The all-important thing must be the Sadhana, the growth into a…
Gold Cleansed With Acid – A Meditation on Sri Aurobindo
“All who enter the spiritual path have to face the difficulties and ordeals of the path, those which rise from their own nature and those which come in from the outside.

The Transformative Fire Ayurveda and Yoga refer to this as the transformative…
Conquering Illusion – An aid for travelers lost in modernity’s mirage | Excerpt from Entering the Desert: Pilgrimage to the Hinterlands of the Soul

“Lead me from unreal to the Real, Lead me from darkness to light, Lead me from death to immortality.” – Brihadaranyaka Upanishad Upon entering the inner desert of the soul and navigating the outer desert of the world, the concepts of “mind” and “body” dramatically expand and are symbolized by the magical instrument of…
