You'll lose it if you don't use it

Have you learned to chant the whole first chapter in Teacher Training or Chanting Class? That took copious amounts of time, concentration, review, refinement. Don't lose it. Here's your chance to ensure it doesn't slip out of your memory. This will be simple ādhyāyanam, teacher chants and student repeats. No corrections, just chanting in succession.

In his commentary on svādhyāya, Vyāsa makes it clear: chanting is svādhyāya and svādhyāya is chanting. Śri Krishnamacharya, in accordance, espouses the use of chanting to reveal one’s nature.

What are the real life percussions of this? You lose ourselves. We lose ourselves in emotions, in relationships, in stress, in sickness, in stage of life related changes. Where do we go? We default to identification with the changes rather than the changeless. This causes endless suffering. 

Anything that puts us in touch with the ever steady and revelatory light within must be attended to, sattvic-ly, if we are too find any sense of balance, to heal from our suffering, and to have innovative experiences in the same body and mind vessel.
