Ravi Singh, a great kundalini teacher, sent me an email and I extracted this little story from it for you.

"Swami Satchidananda told a story, in a DVD presented at our event last weekend at Yogaville in Virginia, which illustrates this point: We spend our lives running after our shadows, which remain always just out of our reach. When finally, out of frustration, we turn away from our shadows and towards the light, our shadows run after us.

Kundalini Yoga is both a path and a process. As with all forms of self discipline, there is a dynamic tension created between where we've been and where we're going. Remember, it's darkest before the dawn. Keep your eyes on the prize! We hope you will be inspired to keep up and blossom."
