I’m still reeling from yesterday and have so much to sit with.  There are so many perspectives on fate, destiny, karma, and what it means to be in the flow.  Today, we must move forward.  I found the following to be quite thought provoking on many levels.

Self-realization dawns when you realize through direct contact with God that your self is one with the Divine Self in body, mind, and spirit.

“Faith is not a thing to grasp, it is a state to grow to.”  ~ Mahatma Gandhi

This strongly resonates with me as a Yogi because in yoga we don’t really have a concept of “faith.”  Yoga is a spiritual practice and technology to allow you to tangibly experience the “one-deity” in whatever form most resonates with you.  What resonates with you most is probably your traditions and believe from you culture and family.  Once you have a tangible experience of God, faith is irrelevant.  The relationship (yoga) becomes the friendship and it is simply real.

So, curious what you believe self-realization, faith, and an actual “tangible experience” to be.
