Following up on yoga sutra 1.2 (essentially, yoga is the cessation of mind chatter), yoga sutra 1.3 states, Tada drashtuh svarupevasthanam<\/em>: then the seer abides in itself, resting in its true nature, also known as self-realization. This sutra explains the ultimate result of yoga\u2014the discovery of one\u2019s true nature.<\/p>\n Once we are able to calm the fluctuations of the mind, our perception of reality becomes clear. No longer clouded with thoughts of the past or the future, reality sharpens and we finally understand our true nature. We recognize our connection to all that is. We recognize that our current state is just as it should be.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”]<\/p>\n What a relief to know that this practice\u2014this work we do on and off the mat to find that place where our minds become quiet and we become more aware\u2014will bring us back to a place where we can finally, and again, realize our being-ness.
