Monday Blues and Hope from the Bhagavad Gita

Some days I still feel fragile in my practice and the smallest thing can rock my entire world.  I'm left feeling set back from where I was or where I thought I was going to be.

Something as small as an image can change my whole emotional state, and this turbulence makes me very aware how I am still attached to the objects of my senses.  I know I am so far from the equanimity the Gita speaks of, and as my heart ached today I felt hopeless for a moment.  Then I remembered the line that I always come back to.  Again and again the Gita gives me hope, and again I have to extend my Love to my Guruji for sharing this with me. Chapter 2 v. 40

Ne ha bhikramanaso sti

Pratyavayo na vidyate

svalpam apy asya dharmasya

trayare mahato bhayat

No effort on the Yoga path is ever lost, nor can any obstacle hold one back forever.  Just a little progress on this path can protect one from the greatest fear.

So it's back to the meditation coushion for another round with faith and resolve.
