Space & Flow: Shiva Sutra 3.40
There’s a little gap, a space inside of all of us that makes us feel incomplete. Take a moment to look away from the screen, and you’ll feel it right away. The Sutras describe this gap as “insatiable and insistent”, a space that no taste, face, or place can fill. Swami Rudrananda once said that we tend to despise this space of incompleteness, and that we would throw it out with the trash if we could, but this ‘incompleteness’, he teaches, is actually our greatest ally in spiritual growth. Because it is precisely in this space that we determine the direction of our energetic flow— will we flow out to illusion, or will we re-direct that flow within to see a higher reality?
