The Real Yogi: The Aloner

"The moment one accepts his loneliness he becomes a yogi. Now he transcends society. That is the only meaning of leaving the society. It is not leaving the actual society; wherever you go, you create a society. Even with the tress, even with the animals, a family will be created and society will be there.

Now there is no guru, you are alone. As there is no one to adulterate it, it is so pure, innocent and beautiful. This aloneness is the path, this aloneness is the meditation. This aloneness is yoga.

Still, you can ask what is to be done with his aloneness. Nothing is to be done, because every doing is nothing but escaping from this aloneness. This aloneness is not to be left and escaped from. You must be deeply in it and you must live with it. You must walk the path of life totally alone; amidst the crowd, with fellow travelers but totally alone."

This is the example of a new genre of photography- 'Photo Philosia'
Philosophy is not Darshan. Darshan is the eastern term. Darshan means perception, philosophy means thinking. Herman Hesse has coined a new word to translate Darshan into western languages. He calls it 'philosia'- 'sia' means 'to see', to attain the eye, to realize, to know and 'philo' means love....

wonderful 'seeing', Sir.....

Thanks and regards for this detailed explanation of the image dear. We tend to attach the meanings and descriptions of the images according to the journey we cross through within , for me , Photography is one such a medium to interpret the outer , out of our inner philosophy we attain thorough our experiences .... Thanks.

Lovely point of view, Vashisht! TFS

Fabulous interpretation... Liked the title here, which justifies the second empty "path" beautifully.
