Self Active Play & ShivaSutra #26

Awakening Creative Potential

Discovering inner power to create harmony and order in our lives is a worthy goal for young children, as well as adults. Realizing that self active play is a source of creative energy, a positive force and safe context for developing self knowledge, encourages us to exercise and express that inner power. Maintaining an awareness of this inner power, our self as creative consciousness and our essential nature, is itself a form of worship.

Sutra #26, “Sartraivrttir Vratam” , describes the state of consciousness as observing the self as the ever-present supreme in the form of the awareness of ones essential nature. This is considered a pious act. Pure play our self emerges as consciousness playing, exploring, creating new forms and possibilities within physical reality. At the same time realizing that capacity is ever-present within and supreme. Something precious to be aware of and most worthy of our earnest contemplation.
