Smarana

Smarana - remembrance.

Panditji asks the question "How do I remember what I just forgot?" When did we forget who we really are?

Ok - right. The big response to this could be - I am who I am. Just like Popeye the Sailor Man. So if we are Popeye, what is our Spinach? What is it that magically turns us into the superhuman beings that we really are? Because if we stick to our guns and say "yes, i am this physical body goddammit so leave me the Eff alone" then in fact we are that physical body etc...

But look at Popeye. He was unashamed to be the ugly sailor. The dude who was way less than macho, attractive, desirable, or even normal. He was the dude who dared to own his individual-ness, his unique-ness, and his need to eat spinach-ness. The whole package. He lived in the physical world as a superhuman, yet was dependent on something else to access his innate abilities.

What is our spinach? What is it that allows us to access our superhuman innate inherent "normal" abilities? Perhaps that is the yoga. Perhaps that is our quest. Making the impossible dream possible is finding our spinach.

Food for thought...
