...what is Real to You?... Really...
...is it your job? is it your day to day obligations?... what makes them obligations?... what makes it Real? what is your measuring stick for Real?... are You keeping it Real?..
...Real to me is what is natural... the natural world... the natural world is naturally diverse, naturally tribal, naturally ancient, naturally Connected, naturally knows how to heal, how to eat, what to eat...
...what is Real to me is Connecting... is staying Connected to You through You in all of You... and doing this through staying humble... in embracing You in all Your forms and recognizing not You... recognizing that there are elements that require boundaries, gravitation, waves, tidal, upstream... downstream...
...all praise is Always due... and i am here in portland... and it felt good to practice Connecting through staying humble, supple, listening... and through learning... staying open to learning... what i learned is that srotas dhatus malas agni marmas indriyas are part of a system that can feel complicated, that can be complicated, that having passages for guidance will help (as the Qur'an provides Guidance through words)... having these bits of guidance until there is memory, until chittas are formed... all praise will Always be to You...
...how are you keeping it Real?... is your job/work building on the Truth, on the Guidance, on the Recitation of the Laws?... or have you figured out a way to rationalize whatever you do with how you want the Truth to fit in...
...many muslims in business will often point to how the prophet was a business man... many hindus making bank talk about prayers to deities for wealth...
...sure. sure... if that suits your conscience... if it makes you feel better so you can pretend like trees and forests and species aren't being wiped out... that bombs aren't happening... that real estate doesn't cause i constant instability structured for the highest bidder... and then you want point fingers at the president... at a political party... at another ethnicity/race... look at yourSelf... and ask... how am i aligned with Truth...? how are my practices... my job... aligned with Truth...?...
...and if it is not... step out your comfort... step out of excuses that tell of how you have these bills and this rent, etc... so did isa... so did musa... so did the Noor muhammad... so did malcolm and gandhi and my mother...
...all praise is due...
...i can tell you that i am doing good work because i am teaching ayurveda... but look at my first posts... look at how i struggled with the concept of Real... and selling this ancient math to the highest bidder....
...at this point... this math i wear is embedded in a memory so deep... you can burn all my books and i will have it... like my hafiz cousins reciting Recitation below 3am dhaka asthma....
...who do i want to give it to is not up to me... the question is what is the Work that needs to be done...?... the Work is to build genuine community... honesty, transparency, family units that consist of generations... of building tribe in Surrender...
...this full moon... i embrace problems... wrangle with them... to transform... to grow deeper... to Be come... the problem in asana occurs without proper movement... without effort... with laziness... and is transformed through vinyasa... is through embracing the fears... through Work...
...the problem was teaching this a n p class in this mathematic... and embracing it, and staying open to learning through listening, made me realize how important it is to actively use the concepts... practice, read talk theory, practice... seek out teachers... ask... go deeper... inshALLAH...
...i see kapotasana and raja-kapotasana happening... a friend just got it... i see finding Love in the way and Way...
...i see practicing medicine man a Reality... the problem being me... the problem being not being engaged in the practice... not Working... not doing the work... and realizing that it is not happening because i am not moving with confidence... that is i am not confident in the work i do because i am not applying theory when i am working... instead i am just doing things... the problem has revaled itself... work with application... with theory in practice and practice in theory...
