tada drastuh svarupe avasthanam- Then the seer dwells in his own true splendor. -Iyengar (tr.)
This one is difficult to comment on with any qualification, simply because it is so closely related to the end result of the process, and I have yet so far to go. The closest experience I could hope to identify with this state is perhaps when I am feeling those moments (however fleeting) of being in the "flow", in synch with the Universe and it's intention for me. It's also those times when I feel from my heart that things are right, without any doubt or misgivings whatsoever. When I have a sense of "lightness of being", tranquility and peace. There is an absence of extremes, no turbulence caused by negative emotion, exhilaration of passion or delirium of happiness. All is just simply calm, resting in sauca, santosha, and svadhyaya- purity, contentment and Self-knowledge.
Simply put, The Soul is in the driver's seat!
