The Yogi and the Mirror of the Mind
Long ago, a student approached his teacher and said,
“Master, I’ve been practicing for years and still my mind won’t be still.”
The teacher handed him a bowl of water.
“Walk to the edge of the forest,” he said, “and bring it back without spilling a drop.”
When the student returned, trembling with focus, the teacher asked,
“What did you see along the way?”
“Nothing,” said the student. “I was too focused on the bowl.”
The master smiled.
“That,” he said, “is meditation.”
✨ The mind reflects the world like water — disturbed, it distorts; still, it reveals.
Yoga is the art of learning to carry the bowl through life’s noise — to remain centered in movement, grounded in change, awake in stillness.
Each breath is an invitation to return.
Each posture, a chance to polish the mirror.
Each moment of presence, a glimpse of the infinite.
This is why we practice.
To see clearly.
To remember who we are beneath the ripples.
