INTO THE PRESENT
This is what Kṛṣṇa means by closing all
the senses. When we do this, our
awareness becomes more and more
concentrated on the present moment.
When we shut our senses and remain in pure awareness, we focus on our divinity. We keep a single-minded focus on the divinity resonating in us.
We automatically fall into the present moment. Awareness of our breath becomes more acute. We feel life energy or prāṇa filling our system. This is called dhāraṇa, single-minded focus. We can focus on the life force energizing our system when we increase our awareness and close all the inputs from our senses. We automatically unite mind, body and spirit. This is yoga.
