Submitted without too much comment, except to say that I always appreciate a good smack upside the head philosophically speaking, taken from Daniel Odier’s translation and commentary on the Yoga Spandakarika…
“When intensity is excessive, we stop playing. We become a yogi with a mystical career plan. We wonder if this will be the time of transmitting. We are already on hold…By maintaining the feeling of play, we can find the happy medium. We stop doing too much or too little about it. Our manner of practice becomes refined, authentic.”
