Sri Sadgurubhyoh Namah
Chapter 2, Text 14
matra‑sparsas tu kaunteya
sitosna‑sukha‑duhkha‑dah
agamapayino 'nityas
tams titiksasva bharataTRANSLATION
O son of Kunti, the nonpermanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, O scion of Bharata, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed.
Yoga practice : titiksha : Sit in padmasana or sukhasana for
15 minutes without moving a muscle. Observe the different pain points in body.
Bear the pain of the body. Relax the body. Understand the relaxation of the
body. Understand the changing of body sensations from pain to pleasure.
Dhyana : Contemplate on the life experiences of happiness
and distress. Understand the impermenance of both happiness and distress, you can see that each of them comes and goes. Contemplate on natural seasons,
understand that they come and go.
