Credit to Yoga Medicine by Tiffany Cruikshank It’s easy to get caught up in what we think we know. 🧠⁠
⁠
And while learning matters, understanding often asks something different of us.⁠
⁠
It asks us to stay curious.⁠
⁠
To loosen our grip on certainty.⁠
⁠
To remain open to perspectives, experiences, and possibilities we haven't fully considered yet.⁠
⁠
Our practice — especially off the mat — gives us opportunities to do this every day.⁠
⁠
It’s in that space of curiosity that we can do away with the need to have all the answers and become more graciously open to what we don't yet fully understand.⁠
⁠
That openness has the potential to hold so much... and is often where wisdom begins.⁠
⁠
💭 What would it look like for you to approach today with a little more curiosity?

Credit to Open Pathshala | Learn Sanskrit Sanskrit has no word for religion.

Not because the concept was hidden. Because the category didn't exist.

धर्म (dharma) comes from √धृ - to hold, to bear, to support. It is the property by which a thing holds its own nature. Fire's dharma is heat. Water's dharma is descent. Remove it and the thing stops being itself.

The Mahābhārata says so in as many words:
धारणाद्धर्ममित्याहुः - it is called dharma because it upholds.
(Śānti Parva 109.11)

Which means every time you read svadharma as "my religion" or even "my duty," you are reading a colonial filing system, not a Sanskrit word.

This is the whole reason we teach the language and not only the translation. A translation gives you someone else's decision about what a word meant. The root gives you the word.

Save this one. 🔖 Then open Gītā 2.31 and read it again.
