Day 6 of Twenty-One: "Lean Not On Your Own Understanding"
The conversation between Krishna & Arjuna is consistent with the wisdom I need as this 21-day journey continues.
"With your mind intent on me, Arjuna, discipline yourself with the practice of yoga. Depend on me completely. Listen, and I will dispel all your doubts; you will come to know me fully and be united with me." - B.G. 7.1
As I reflect on this past weekend, I realize how gracious Spirit is. I can recall the exact moments I was aware of the wisest decisions I could make. I chose to do otherwise–a costly choice, but I'm thankful that I can see in retrospect the faithfulness and loyalty of Atman (my soul).
When I dismiss my practice, I am less connected to my highest Self. Yoga provides me with the tools I need to master my willpower. Yoga grounds my thoughts, feelings, and actions in the present moment. This is why Krishna advises Arjuna to "discipline yourself with the practice of yoga." Having my mind focused on pleasure and not "Krishna," I doubted the wisdom I initially was aware of and acted on impulse. Now I see why it is not wise to lean on your own understanding.
Prayer: "Oh Great Spirit, I thank you for your ever-present help. You order my steps and grant me the freedom to choose. You do not shame me for my disobedience, but by the laws of the Universe, I am disciplined. This discipline points me right back to you. It is there I find grace. It is in your presence I find guidance, wisdom, and rest. I pray that my mind receives this, that my heart be open, and that my will be strengthened. you have provided clarity and a toolkit (yoga). I have a better understanding of its value and use. I trust your guidance over my knowledge. Ase.
