Fullness

Purnamadah Purnamidam.
That fullness led to this fullness.

In the Upanishads, the name for the Infinite is simply ‘That”. I am delighted with this name for the Divine. “That” is our Mother and our Father, where we came from and where we will return at the time of our death. The more we become acquainted with That during life, the easier our transition is at death. Swami Rama said that for those who are close to the Infinite, death is like going home and for those who are not close, death is like an eviction notice.
That fullness led to this fullness. That unmanifested Absolute is full and this manifested relative is full. We are just like our Source. The Vedas express Being as the ultimate reality and they found It within man.

I am That, thou art That, all this is That, That alone is, and there is nothing else but That.
Upanishads

Yoga in America is way too asana oriented. Ninety percent of yoga asana is a waste of time. The asana must be done to prepare the body to hold the light of the soul. Most people just want all of the stuff the ego likes: a firm body and ways to impress people. We should be striving to find a real connection with the Divine.
