Dear all,

In the mode of sharing (especially for you, Interpaul) on this forum, below is my take on what the Samyama sutras currently mean to me in the results they have brought to my life. I say 'currently' because the meaning and perceived results have evolved over the years.

Love = Agape (a spontaneous outpouring of compassion - the Lake of Light pours itself out into the physical world using my body as a vessel. I introduce here the term "Lake of Light" as an analogy where we are all whirlpools in the lake of light)

Radiance = Transfiguration of the physical and mental into Light

Unity = a merging of my inner and outer world until "I" die and only reality is.

Healing = healing of all sentient beings

Inner Strength = for all sentient beings to face the challenges of this physical world

Abundance = Abundance of all the qualities of the other nine words

Inner Sensuality = the ability to see /hear/ smell/feel within

Wisdom = Understanding through direct seeing

Akasha,, Lightness of Air = development of Inner Space and becoming un-bounded by gravity; set free

"I" - thought, what am I? = Gaining insight into my true nature

I am not in anyway attached to these meanings and I expect that they will continue to evolve. Gentle reminder that during the practice itself, we are not to attach any meaning to the words.

I invite others to share their journey with Samymama

Sey, Thanks for honoring me with engagement. I continue to see a gradual evolution in the meaning of my sutras. What is most meaningful in the last year is the ability to truly release the word in/from my head. I didn't realize how profound that simple mental task is and how fundamental it is to the practice. This truly is one of the most subtle of the practices and most profound. An area that requires letting go on a level which changes our relationship with our thinking mind.

Agree wholeheartedly. Simplicity and Surrender.
