Working the Yamas: Compassion

By Manorama

 

Ahimsa

In his Yoga Sutra, Patanjali offers a guide to freedom. The yamas are the first of the series of practices Patanjali lays out and the first yama is ahimsa, which means non-violence or compassion.

Why do seekers of freedom keep returning to Patanjali’s principles?

They return to be reminded of the foundation that everything is in reality connected and one. The question arises what isn’t yoga? The answer is that everything is yoga. If one seeks freedom then to see one’s Self in others is the greatest truth. The wise remind us that there is only oneness. Other questions arise: Do we really gain ground by harming another? Is there any progress made if one thing goes down while another goes up? Engaging the yamas helps the aspirant develop a sense of connection with these questions. In yogic lore, the period of the dawn or dusk is considered the time of ahimsa because it is the time where light and dark co-exist together. Similarly, by practicing ahimsa the aspirant learns to perceive the co-existence of the two operating forces in nature as one.

"Intelligence is the final light which illuminates the subject as well as the object."

~ Ramamurti S. Mishra M.D.

(Sri Brahmananda Sarasvati, from 'Essay on Intelligence' Copyright 2002, Baba Bhagavandas Publication Trust)

 

"To know the Self as the only reality and all else as temporal and transient is freedom, peace and joy.  It is all very simple.  Instead of seeing things as imagined, learn to see them as they are.  When you can see everything as it is, you will also see yourself as you are. 

"
