संकल्प · For someone else
Restlessness at its full force. The training is not to sit on it. It is to give it a road to someone else, and let the fruit go.
If something light orange is near you, a thread or a cloth, tie it on your wrist. Light orange is Bharata's colour for vīra. Or begin as you are.
First the body, later the voice, later still only inside. Any of them, any time; nothing is locked.
The force found a road, to someone else.
In Bharata, adbhuta arises from vīra (VI.39). That road is there for another time.
Why this
Bharata shows a feeling in four ways, the four abhinayas: by the body (āṅgika), by the voice (vācika), by what is worn (āhārya) and from within (sāttvika) (Abhinayadarpaṇa 38; Ghosh 1957). This practice goes through them from the outside in.
Vīra's root in Bharata is utsāha, energy. It arises from energy, perseverance and presence of mind, and shows as firmness and patience (VI.67 to 68). It is of three kinds: from giving, from doing one's duty, and from fighting (VI.79). This practice is the first two. There is no one to fight.
Sri Aurobindo, on the Gītā's ladder of practice, knowledge, meditation and the giving up of the fruit (12.12), in Essays on the Gita (CWSA 19, p. 403): “But more powerful still is the giving up of the fruit of one’s works, because that immediately destroys all causes of disturbance and brings and preserves automatically an inner calm and peace”. So the page never asks how it went.
Vīra's glance in Bharata is bright, fully open, the eyeballs level (VIII.50), and that is the inside door. Its colour is light orange (VI.42 to 43), its deity Indra (VI.44 to 45), its notes ṣaḍja and ṛṣabha: the light goes on Sa and arrives on Ri.
The six things are ours, written for a village, and one of your own is as good as any. How steady counts as steady is ours. Nothing you choose here is kept or sent.
