...11.18.12...
















according to yoga,
our perception is made up of two elements:
purusa and prakriti.
purusa is our pure internal consciousness,
the part of ourselves that "watches"all our actions,
while prakriti is everything external:
our bodies, matter, and the universe itself.
we see the truth clearly with our purusa,
but it's clouded by habit and false understanding,
and we confuse our true "selves" with external things,
such as our bodies or possessions. 
only the constant practice of awareness can 
separate purusa and prakriti,
and help us toward clear thinking.

will be clear today.
and today.

  1. Gorgeous photos. I especially like the foggy ones. They're very mysterious.

    And yes, a single day can make all the difference in the world.
