Thank you, restlessness, as challenging a traveling companion as there could be. In the end, my embrace of you was what sent me on the only search that really counts. Responding to you was the stirring that led me to sit every morning and to venture into that invisible terrain where seeker and sought merge and rest together, once and for all eternity.
Rod StrykerI came into this world restless despite many appearances to the contrary. Does that make me unique? I doubt it.
Rod StrykerThe point of yoga is to develop a level of clarity and self-understand ing so that when weโre done doing our yoga practice we make really good decisions, because that will determine whether weโre fulfilled. Not the quality of our poses. But really the yoga is what happens when weโre done practicing yoga.
Rod StrykerIf yoga is about life, this means ALL life, not just part of it. Together, the spiritual and the material constitute the whole you, the whole of the experience of being human, and the nature of the universe in which you live. There may be no step more important to achieving ultimate fulfillment than accepting what the Vedas teach us about desires--that some desires are inpsired by your soul.
