An Ordinary Life Transformed - Readings Ch 5&6

Chapter 5: Renounce and Be Free: renounce all that is fleeting to realize the eternal
How to know joy in the midst of sorrow: It is only through dis-identifying with that which causes pain and identifying with that which cannot know suffering that this is possible. This is renunciation.
On Monday - let's discuss times when you were able to do this and examples of times when it just did not or would not feel possible.


Chapter 6: The Inner Sanctuary: discipline and refine the mind through meditation
For the all day - let's discuss our meditation experiences and/or any topic or personal reflection related to Section I.

These two chapters complete Section I- Karma Yoga, The Path of Action. We'll begin Section II next session - March/April.

See you Monday or sooner.
