beginner
स यथा सोम्य वयांसि वसोवृक्षं सम्प्रतिष्ठन्त एवं ह वै तत्सर्वं पर आत्मनि सम्प्रतिष्ठते॥
sa yathā somya vayāṃsi vasovṛkṣaṃ sampratiṣṭhanta evaṃ ha vai tatsarvaṃ para ātmani sampratiṣṭhate ||
""Dear one, just as birds go to a tree for rest, so does everything find rest in the supreme Self.""
What This Means:
All faculties, like birds returning to their tree at evening, return to rest in the supreme Self during deep sleep.
Going Deeper:
The beautiful image of birds coming home to roost illustrates how all aspects of experience have their source and resting place in Atman.
How To Apply This:
Like birds returning home, let all your scattered thoughts return to rest in the Self.
