Daily Quote, Thursday May 7, 2009.

Good morning,Today's quote arrived but was the same one as yesterday. Maybe we need to reflect upon it more closely!

I thought I'd add something from Professor Ravi Ravindra's new book on the Yoga Sutras this morning. The book is called 'The Wisdom of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras'.

He is giving a talk on the Yoga Sutras at the Yoga Loft on Friday May 15 at 7:30pm. It's free and I'd definitely recommend coming along.

"Great texts can inspire us, and call us. Since they come froma higher level of understanding, they cannot be understood by us as we are. What we understand is within our ken. We need to be disturbed by the great texts and scriptures which can provide a practical aid for the transformation of our consciousness, of our being, of our lives. By wrestling with these texts, and not be argumentation, we gain understanding."
