The gate outward

You come back out to the front of the hill with the five syllables still in your ear. The rest of this round is about carrying what you have learned into life: the ways of walking, what freedom means, and worship at home and in the temple.

✦Carry this

In the five syllables, grace stands beside the soul and turns it towards Siva.

✦A small practice

This week, before helping someone at home, pause and recall Na-Ma-Si-Va-Ya slowly, then give that small help with care.
