Three Misunderstandings

1.
Truth is never in the object, only in the subject. Truth is not an external power that compels us to believe, but an inner light that empowers us to choose the reality we love.

2.
Love is the nectar of Unity. The most profound spiritual practice is not relationship, but the dissolving of of two into one. From the one, waves of love spontaneously arise, without an object of desire. Unity is not attained through devotion. Devotion arises from Unity.

3.
Yoga is not the science of restraining thought-waves in the mind. Yoga chitta-vritti nirodhah (Patanjali).Yoga is the art of watching thought-waves play, however wildly, in the shoreless ocean of  awareness, until we see that they are only waves of silence.
