In a world where truth is often overlooked there is a quiet discipline in choosing where your energy goes.
Ignorance does not need to be fought, judged, or corrected it simply does not need to be engaged with. To ignore ignorance is not avoidance; it is discernment. It is the understanding that not everything deserves your attention, your reaction, or your energy. In yoga, this is avidya not just a lack of knowledge, but a misperception of reality. Confusing the temporary with the permanent, the ego with the true Self.It is the root of suffering, the source of attachment, aversion, and the illusion of knowing.
As we grow spiritually and on the mat, inner peace remains undisturbed by the opinions and weight of others when you live in alignment with the yamas and niyamas.
Are you at peace, or is it your surroundings that continue to pull you out of alignment? Do you hide from truth, or do you allow it to reveal itself, even when it asks you to see what is uncomfortable?
Cycles and patterns remain destructive when we continue to give them our energy or enable them especially when they were never ours to carry. Your energy, your prana, is sacred. Your burden lies only in what you choose to hold onto that is not yours.
Why try to understand what lives in someone else’s mind? Why exhaust yourself trying to make sense of something that is not yours to understand? Truth does not require effort to be seen it is simple, clear, and steady. It is not always comfortable, but it does not confuse. What confuses is illusion. What drains is trying to make sense of what is not rooted in truth.
And the truth is… it is not change that hurts us. It is our resistance to seeing things as they actually are. Seeing what we didn’t want to see. Feeling what we tried to avoid. Accepting truths that did not match the version we created in our minds. And that shift changes everything.
Because when you stop resisting, you stop fighting reality. You stop draining your energy trying to fix what is not yours to fix. You stop chasing understanding where there is none.
The last few years whether in my personal life or in business there were no breaks.
Only tapas… the inner fire. Within that fire, I saw both light and dark what felt like good and what felt like evil, yet yoga teaches it is all part of the same duality, here to refine.
And with each fire, came a stronger blessing.
No break was needed, discernment was.
You can choose to return to yourself. To your breath. To your body. To your truth. To your mat with ease, grace, and gratitude.
In this moment, I honor the presence of God.
There is no confusion in clarity. There is no chaos in truth. There is only a quiet knowing of what stays and what needs to go.
Life is always moving. The question is are you moving with it, or are you being pulled…
dragged by the intentions of others?
Because peace does not live in control or in holding on. It lives in allowing. Healing doesn’t come from attaching or enabling it comes from detaching, from non-attachment (aparigraha) and returning to your center.
To ignore ignorance is not to disconnect from the world, but to remain grounded within it unmoved by what is not aligned, and undisturbed by what is not true.
New York, life keeps moving, stay grounded and untouched by the distractions and noise around you.
