Welcome and thank you for joining me. This is a short poem inspired by the Vijnamaya Kosha. The Wisdom Sheet. As you listen, Allow yourself to settle into stillness, Trusting that wisdom often speaks most clearly when the mind becomes quiet. Vignanamaya. The Luminous Mind in the hush beneath all thought. Where breath slows and the heart listens before it speaks. A light begins to rise. Not the light of reason's spark. But the flame of knowing. Steady, Wordless, Clear. It does, For no proof. It argues with no one. It simply knows what is. Your truth has no edges. Here, Silence teaches. Here, Wisdom wears the face of peace. You are that quiet witness. The space between the clouds. The calm that sees all storms and remains unshaken. Vignanamaya The Sheet of Insight The Luminous Mind within the Mind. Where clarity is love. And knowing is freedom. Thank you for sharing these few moments with me. May these words continue to echo gently within your heart. Inviting greater awareness, Compassion and peace in the moments ahead. Until we meet again, Take gentle care of yourself. Namaste.
