Study Focus SF-03 Karmenrdiyas-Jnanendriyas (organs of action and senses of perception)
This subject provides a range of audio class recordings and class notes for practice enquiry along with articles to explore the organs of action and senses of perception. Access is for a 10 week period from enrolment. Thus, a student may practice to one recording per week to cover the material in the timeframe or using the recordings twice per week to cover the content twice.
Study Focus subjects (SF-1 to SF-08) are configured through the following modes: Learn/ Study/ Practice
- in the Learning mode we review the details and definition of an area of enquiry
- in the Studying mode we look at details and nuance whilst hearing from the teachers of our lineage
- the Practicing mode focuses on doing where individuals practice to recorded sequences recorded by Alan Goode
In Light on life BKS Iyengar writes
‘A wise person notices that inner harmony is disturbed when the mind lets itself be lured into indiscriminately sampling the world of phenomena. He tries to remain free by avoiding material attachment, in which objects draw the intelligence like a magnet and the self is enticed into an illusory relationship with the external, seen world, provoking pleasures and pains. The intelligence is the vehicle closest to the soul, which must be wary of its influence if the seer is to remain free. Otherwise intelligence enmeshes the seer in a painful relationship with external objects. As long as intelligence is undiscriminating, there is suffering. The moment it develops discriminative power, it realizes its source, and mingles with the seer. Then there is transparency between the seer and seen, allowing free, uncontaminated passage between them’.
