Taking
it Home
Gurudhan
by
Gurudhan Singh Khalsa
At the end of Winter Solstice, a final class was given on Christmas Eve
2002, covering some points on how to maintain oneself, what to expect as
one re-enters "the world", and a meditation to keep your flow, strengthen
intuition, have endurance and avoid getting stuck. Pretty useful characteristics
relevant to anyone who has a life beyond the yoga mat -- namely all of
us.
"Getting stuck" is a broad term with no particular Sanskrit or Gurumukhi
equivalent, but it is a yogic concept through and through. I'm stuck when
I limit myself to narrow concepts of how things are or ought to be, and
to concepts of what constitutes progress. Getting stuck doesn't just mean
being brought to a standstill, or reaching a plateau and not being able
to climb higher. Limited ideas of progress get me stuck in the wheel ruts
of repetitive patterns, going forward but nowhere new.
Gurudhan has a no frills and direct style. He don't dance. He is a business
man in
charge of
many
things. He is also the camp director for both Winter and Summer Solstice.
Note: the
nearly eleven minutes of silence during the meditation have been edited
out.
