Snowy Owls & the Vicissitudes of Life
Snowy Owls & the Vicissitudes of Life
The ups and downs of life are unavoidable; it is how we respond to them that is so important & meaningful…
Life is not always predictable and smooth; it is full of ups and downs. But the yogis say that if we keep our psychic ease (santosha) we will easily be able to handle the vicissitudes of life – whatever rises and falls that may come our way. See how this snowy owl does a fine job of representing the yogic platform, as he calmly rides the ebbs and flows.
Note: Being content with the “basics of life” does not mean settling for less or depriving oneself in the material sphere. Rather one will always have their needs met, yet their overall desire will be aimed towards something greater and more meaningful that is beyond the material realm.
