Namaste is a verb

At the end of yoga class, we often say namaste. In the context of yoga, this means the divine light in me honors the divine light in you.

In yoga, we are essentially divine light, each us a unique play or version of this light.

We honor it, we honor you, and all us as That which we essentially are.

It is a reverent act. Who could not honor or revere the Light which becomes and is all of us?

I honor and respect you and myself as this Light in action on this earth.

Therefore, we try in a practical way to make decisions in a family or group of friends and/or co-workers that honor and respect everyone involved. We take their opinions and needs and wants into account and try to build decisions and action that are truly mutually beneficial.

This is namaste in action, not a mere philosophic idea or ideal, but an active approach to living.

Namaste!
