Quote of the Week
If you detach yourself from the identification with the body and remain relaxed in and as Consciousness, you will, this very moment, be happy, at peace, free from bondage.
"The Ashtavakra Gita Dialogue" by Ramesh S. Balsekar,
and "Bringing Yoga to Life" page 57, by Donna Farhi 

Commentary:  This quote identifies 'body identification,' i.e. the belief that we are the body, as the cause of our bondage.  Because we believe that we are our bodies, as opposed to having bodies, we become subject to all its whims, wants, and wishes; we are in bondage to it, and it becomes our master.  We invest almost all of our time, effort and energy in trying to satisfy its insatiable and unending desires because we've been fooled into thinking that its needs and desires are identical with ours; this is the deception that substitutes slavery for self service, and the price we pay for this pitiable state is our emancipation, peace, and happiness.  In truth, without this body identification, the roles reverse and the body becomes servant to us, ready, willing and able to serve our every need.  The body in truth is thrall to the mind that identifies with its true identity, the one Consciousness that is the source of all that exists; this is our true identity, primordial divinity, and destiny; this is the only correction we need real-ize (make real) to be free, peaceful, and happy.  We need only relax.  When we relax, we naturally and effortlessly begin to return to our divine, primordial perfection.  Take but one breath in then let it out, and you can feel yourself easily move in the direction of your inner peace.  Wash, rinse, and repeat to remain relaxed in and as the very Consciousness we already are.
Yogi Edmond.

Quote of the Week
The Blessed Lord said:  Whence has this blemish, alien to honorable men, causing disgrace and opposed to heaven, come upon you, Arjuna, at this untimely hour?
Bhagavad Gita 2.2

Commentary: Krishna's response to Arjuna dropping his bow and sitting on the seat of the chariot, is both surprising and quite caustic, but it is done because Krishna want's to shake Arjuna out of his current state of suspension and back to his true status as the brave and honorable, and righteous warrior that he is.  This sharp but deliberate response causes Arjuna to pay attention and to question his decision not to fight.  Krishna describes Arjunas state as a blemish, and for one of Arjuna's status it is startling because he has a stella reputation of unmatched conquests in contests as well as in actual battle; he is unafraid of any enemy as demonstrated by his extreme confidence when in the first chapter he said to Krishna "Draw up my chariot between the two armies, O Achyuta (Krishna), so that I may observe those who stand here eager for battle and know with whom I should fight in this toil of war."  Brave words indeed; so it is quite startling for him to hear that he has a blemish that is causing disgrace and is opposed to heaven on his record.  Krishna's meaning is clear, this is not an appropriate time for Arjuna to be in this state as missiles are about to fly; it is untimely indeed, but Krishna has more to say about Arjuna's state and what to do about it in the next verse.
Yogi Edmond.

Quote of the Week
Sanjaya said:  To him thus overcome by compassion, full of sorrow, his eyes distressed and filled with tears, Madhusudana (Lord Krishna) spoke these words:
Bhagavad Gita 2.1

Commentary:  Sanjaya, the narrator of the Bhagavad-Gita, describes Arjuna’s mental and physical states here in the opening verse of the second chapter as:  overcome by compassion, full of sorrow, his eyes are distressed and filled with tears.  This is not the desired state of being for a warrior who is about to enter into battle, and certainly not for a warrior of Arjuna’s status and experience.  The first chapter has elucidated that extreme grief born of the conflict between the dictates of his mind (duty) and his heart (familial love) as the reason for his present state, and Arjuna has exhausted his intellect in trying to find a way to satisfy both these dictates, so much so that he seeks help from Lord Krishna as the only possible solution.  Arjuna addresses Lord Krishna as Madhusudana (slayer of the demon pair Madhu and Kaitabha,) in His other expression as Lord Vishnu, indicating that Krishna is capable of resolving all problems, as He himself states near the end of the Gita (18.66) "Abandon all varieties of knowledge and just surrender unto Me.  I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions.  Do not worry."
