Or (achieving Samadhi is also attainable) by devoted self-surrender to the Lord

At some point I would like to write more about the path of “Isvara pranidhnad-va” (Yoga Sutra 1:23) or Bhakti Yoga, the surrender to the Lord.

But for now I would like to bring this controversial but pretty story from the Gospel of Luke (courtesy of We, Like Sheep)

As Jesus and his disciples went on their way, Jesus entered a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to what he was saying. But Martha was distracted by her many tasks; so she came to him and asked, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her then to help me." But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; there is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her."
(Luke 10:38-42)
