—Brihad-aranyaka Upanishad 1.3.28
Oh Lord, Lead us from the unreal to the Real.
Lead us from the darkness of ignorance to the Light of Truth.
Lead us from falsely identifying with the mortal body and mind
to the realization of our immortal divine nature.
I appreciate being reminded that we are spiritual beings on a human journey filled with immense freedom and joy.
I find that helpful too! To remember that joy is inherent to the soul and we can know it, choose it, live it. Thanks for posting.
Beautiful words. Thank you for singing them to me. My heart feels accepting of these truths.
My joy, Linda!
Thank you again Yogacharya for this reminder. It really helps for me to hear this again and again whenever I forget. It truly reaches the core.
Namaste Matt! I’m grateful we have this prayer–all the way from the ancient rishis, it still resounds in the universe and reaches us.
Hello from Kincardine, ON Canada. I hope to move from an intellectual assent to these ideas to feeling them – that’s always my challenging…over intellectualizing.
Welcome, Elizabeth!
I think you’ll find that besides your intention which is so powerful… practice itself is the key. I have often uttered the prayer, “Let your mind sink into your heart” — meaning, let the intellect relax and drop down into the ground of being. It sounds like a mysterious invitation, yet we already know how to do that from the soul level of our being.
Wishing you great success on your spiritual path.
Thank you Yogacharya for your warm welcome. Setting my intention to sink into my heart proved to be far more natural than I expected 🙂
Wonderful! keep on…
Thank you. I am ready {I hope] to experience the fullness of this prayer. Grateful to be in the course. River
