Gauḍīya
Translation
While the yogī concentrated his mind by powerful yoga practice, the great expanse of six Manvantaras passed.
Personal Guidance
Six lifetimes of Manu pass while the sage's mind is concentrated. Deep absorption distorts time as we know it. Even a few minutes of real focus can feel out of time when entered fully.
Reflection Questions
- When was the last time I lost track of time in something good?
- How might I invite more such moments?
