I got back to the study of How To Know God -The Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali, after a wild week of births, a hornet sting, and decluttering and cleaning the house.

As I declutter the house, I find my mind is also automatically decluttered. Have you found that to be true for yourself?

According to Patanjali, nonattachment is an exercise in discrimination. As we reflect on a desired material object, says Patanjali, we find the desired object is useless to our sustained happiness, useless as a means to liberation and potentially harmful because it leads to ignorance and bondage. The saying, “We are all doing time,” applies here.

You cannot take these materially desired objects with you when you die, but you can take with you the discriminating mind developed by strengthening the yoga muscles of purification, making our minds fit for a love that is infinite in its all pervasive higher vibration of security and calm that characterizes it.

We can find this divine love now and do not have to wait until we die to find it. In reality, this love is you, and is found in your internal spiritual life. You actually don’t have to find it. It’s in your prayers and meditation and intuitive flashes.
This is what this podcast is all about.
