Practice First: Shiva Sutra 3.8

3.8: jāgrat dvitīya karaḥ

“The waking state is another form of his real nature of consciousness.”

“They are always aware of their universal consciousness. So, for such a yogī, the waking state is their second form of their establishment of being. ”
-Shiva Sutra 3.8, Lakshmanjoo translation. 

In this class we discuss the experience of putting your spiritual growth ahead of your limited perceptions of daily life. The experienced practitioner recognizes that this type of work is not a negation of reality, not a pushing away of what feels ‘tough’, but an expansion of awareness, an unfolding of our practice that empowers us to use our life as fuel for enlightenment. This level of is a process that opens the door for the highest potential of any situation to come to fruition, or as Shambhavananda teaches, allows us to “see what’s possible”.

Join us as we begin to explore Shiva Sutra 3.8, as well as teachings from Lineage teacher Sri Shambhavananda and Swami Rudrananda, in a supportive and heartfelt meditative discussion.

Namaste!
