A Practice for Today: Training the Senses

Posted on January 25, 2012  | Add Comment

“In the food we eat, the books and mag­a­zines we read, the movies we see, the tele­vi­sion shows we watch, all of us are sub­ject to the dic­ta­tor­ship of rigid per­sonal likes and dis­likes. To free your­self from this con­di­tion­ing, prac­tice jug­gling with your likes and dis­likes cheer­fully when it is in the inter­ests of those around you — or yourself.”

- Eknath Easwaran

Train­ing the senses means over­com­ing con­di­tioned habits and learn­ing to enjoy what is ben­e­fi­cial. Click here for instruc­tions on this point.

  • A few times a week we’ll post some­thing here to show­case the time­less wis­dom of Eknath Easwaran.

    We’ll also post items about the Blue Moun­tain Cen­ter of Med­i­ta­tion – new book announce­ments, retreat sched­ules and updates, news from our fel­low­ship groups.

    And we’ll post items from some of Easwaran’s many friends around the world who have brought his prac­ti­cal wis­dom into their lives.

    We hope you’ll join the con­ver­sa­tion as well.
