VENUSfrequency YOGA edition 07 MAR 2025 | Sutra 4.31 | Alan Watts
07.03.2025
we explore Yoga Sutra 4.31—a reminder that beyond the layers of knowledge, beyond the endless seeking, there is a profound simplicity at the heart of it all.
After the journey of self-exploration, we come to realize: there is little to know. Not because knowledge is lacking, but because truth is simple. The mind constructs complexities, but wisdom unveils clarity. All the great masters have said this—what we seek is not far, but near. What we long to understand is not hidden, but ever-present.
Let’s reflect on this today: What happens when we stop chasing and start being? What if the wealth of life is not in accumulating, but in realizing?
In a world filled with distractions and excess, what would it mean to humble down as a society? To live not by outer luxury, but by inner richness? Imagine a world where the true wealth is the beauty of upholding values—where we thrive not by conquering, but by caring. A world where kindness holds more power than possessions, and simplicity, humble living with fewer things to own and accumulate is not seen as lack, but as wisdom.
Which will lead us to stick our noses into the book „The Wisdom of Insecurity“ by Alan Watts. It explores how our constant pursuit of control and knowledge creates anxiety, when in reality, true peace comes from embracing the present moment. This aligns beautifully with Yoga Sutra 4.31—reminding us that life, in its essence, is not complicated. It is we who complicate it.
SO „Let the mind quiet, the breath deepen, and the path unfold.“
