    “Śavāsana is a recovery from the fatigue of practice,
    rather than a recovery from the fatigue of Saṃsāra.”
    – 108 Teaching Path Pointers…

    “In the Indian tradition some Mantra
    are known as Mahāvakya or great sayings.
    They express and re-mind us, in both
    a mystical and poetical way, of the
    presence of the eternal Awareness
    within the everyday flux of existence.
    There is one such Mahāvakya, renowned
    and beautiful in its profound simplicity as
    a heuristic means for revelation, whether
    your Sādhana traverses either of two paths.
    Either, the Sādhana path of Jñana Dhyānam
    or, the Sādhana path of Bhakti Dhyānam.
    Namely:
    तत् त्वम् असि
    Tat Tvam Asi ॥
    “That Thou Art”
    from the Chāndogya Upaniṣat VI.8.7
