The first
Vrittis is right knowledge. How do we know? We perceive by seeing something. We
infer. When we see smoke we infer there is a fire. The third is by having a
reliable source tell us something. By reliable source we mean the truth. This
does not mean you do something just because a reliable source tells you to do
it. It means that the source must come from a place of truth. In yoga we refer
to this as the scriptures.
It is important
to remember that the truth is always the same. We may modify it and present it
in different words or forms to fit our needs, but the truth always remains the
same. Likewise you are the same person even when you change your clothes to fit
an occasion. You would not wear a suit to go skiing, but you are still the same
person even though you have changed your clothes.
Who are you?
Are you the business person or the skier? No, you are always you no matter what you are wearing.
Always
examine and question. Truth comes from a place of reliable knowledge and
knowledge leads to wisdom.
Yoga
provides scripture which are thousands of years old and have proven the test of
time as reliable sources that bring health, happiness and peace to body, the
mind and the soul.
But nothing
is achieved without practice. So this is why we practice yoga.
Choose
wisely where and how you receive information. There are three ways we get valid
knowledge, perception, inference and a reliable source. Whether the information
is valid or not, ultimately you need to set it aside and find peace. Slowly
remove that which does not serve you and help you to evolve and become a more
conscious being. Hold onto that which elevates you to a higher realm of being.
Know the truth and it shall set you free.
Namaste
