Sometimes it seems that there is a long road ahead of us in the practice of Yoga. You know, like when you say to yourself, “will I ever be able to do so and so pose?” It seems like such a long road. I guess it is like any thing else; it doesn’t come all at once, although sometimes you want it to happen all at once. But then how would we learn without going through the process?
We do learn by going through something over and over again until it is engrained in our nervous system. That is change over time. But then there is change that is instantaneous. This change is from something that you observe or something that happens to you that you cannot describe. It engulfs all of you; it isn’t learned from a process, meaning it doesn’t have any thing to do with time, that is why it is indescribable.
So I think that there are two ways of learning, one that involves time that has the quality of “a long road ahead of you” and the other which is “immediate” learning.
