Getting out of the play

Something within us never changes, we cannot think it or use the senses to identify it.
We have to use the ancient teachings of yoga to teach it.
But why try to find it?
Through our senses, memory and thoughts we know what our body and life looks and feels like and we most probably have an opinion of it or disregard it through not wanting to “see it.”
Those illusions have been created by part of mind that has attached or created an aversion to those feelings/ experience. The ahamkar- ego sense.
We notice that times we feel good and times we don’t .
We try to look outside of ourselves for comfort or an answer.
But it never has a long term effect.
The karmic wheel just keeps on turning.
The truth is the body changes as it is in constant flow, just as life is.
If we work with the body in yoga we will be feeding that obstacle, we will never rise above it.
We have to work much deeper with more than 5 senses but an inner sense to see those obstacles created in the inner subtle body known as the pranic body.
Using asana and pranayama with detachment.
We release the mental obstacles from getting involved with the impermanence and fluctuating experiences.
The yogis saw the outer life as well as the body and mind like a play, called maya.
The play can be overcome by with detachment to experience the truth behind the play; THAT which never changes within us, it doesn’t get hurt, or age, or feel a certain way.
It is a constant and when the mind becomes stilled and there are no disturbances, we sit in that and there’s no question that is underlying.
We all feel this when we get older, we say we feel the same inside and that is it. But we need to not just think it but to go in and experience and be at one with it.
This is the meaning of yoga by overcoming the maya, the play and coming to Realisation.
The health of body and mind are the bi products.
Om Shanti 🙏
