Do only people who practice yoga has got this thing call.... dhristhi?
Then i would quote from TK.V. Desikachar: "Anybody can breathe. Therefore anybody can practice yoga." And if you and i are breathing, we're in yoga. Thus, we all got dhristhi:)
Its like the front windscreen of a car. It can get blurred when the rain starts pouring down; or when it's too much dust covering the view. As we switch the wiper on and wipe it a few, we can see the road ahead much clearly.
All of us has got the power of dhristhi; due to so much of the external distractions and influences, our visions get blurred, could not see the path lies in front of us; we felt scared and stop moving forward. Yoga practices helps us wipe these illusions away and making our gaze more refine and focus.
As i slowly allow the expansion of dristhi practice, i learn how to look at things in different perspective. I taste the sweetness of a sharper vision and mind, that usually brings me to the role of a witness; and a direction to an unknown path.
When we first look at a piece of forest, it looks like a big piece of green carpet hanging in the mid- air. Then we zoom into details of each trees.... and we learn to understand and enjoy the forest more.
