See what is coming
To try to repeat an experience is mechanical sadhana, not spiritual. Â You have to keep the experience in your pocket, as it were, and then see what is coming today. Â You should not call back yesterday’s experience. Â That experience has become finite, because it is recognized. Â Keeping that recognition in your pocket, see what is coming in today’s practice. Â If you work like that, your practice is spiritual sadhana. Â But if you want to repeat today the experience of what was new yesterday, it is repetition; it is not sadhana – it cannot be spiritual. – B.K.S. Iyengar
Surrender
When, through your practice of Ensemble Thinking, Viewpoints, Action Theater, and Contact Improvisation, you have reached a higher state of intelligence, and that mature intelligence makes you lose the identity of the self, you become one with the performance because you surrender yourself to improvisation.
When, through your practice, you have reached a higher state of intelligence, and that mature intelligence makes you lose the identity of the self, you become one with God because you surrender yourself to Him. This is Isvara-pranidhana, surrender of one’s actions and one’s will to God. – pg 53, Tree of Yoga by BKS Iyengar.
