When you don't know where you are going on vacation, you don't know what to pack on the trip, no? Should you pack your parka and gloves, or your beach towel and flip flops? Are you going away for a week, a month, a year? One can't solve a problem where the goal is not well defined. Know oneself, know one's desires, and the journey is not going to be about coping. It usually comes down to that, whenever one is struggling in life: What about myself don't I know that keeps me in the struggle? What am I grasping? Technology, more resources and organization can only help make the struggle dignified, it won't get one out of the struggle. A good meal is one where you leave a little room in the stomach, and where you're not reaching for the digestive aid. Aparigraha - a yogic concept of non-greed, non-grasping, non-gluttony (not just in the food sense) but also a confidence in one's own nature, that's something to look into. It's a way of life. For that matter, all yogic thought is like a ball of string, you can't just pull on one thread without having the whole ball unravel - it'll be a reimagination of all things, so there's that. _______________________________________________ Silklist mailing list Manage your membership here: https://lists.digeratus.in/postorius/lists/silklist.lists.digeratus.in/
