Meditation: Ananda, the Peace That Passeth All Understanding

Featured, Jnana Yoga

The peaceful presence of awareness, as if watching from a premium seat in the back row, has a view of the person watching and of the movie, and is not affected in any way by the content of the movie or its effect on the audience.
