The 9th Rasa, Calmness (Shanta), represents steadiness, peace, contentment, and serenity in the body, energy, and mind. It is the calm beneath the emotional storms of life. True peace of mind is challenging to attain, and yoga helps cultivate this stillness through practices like meditation and self-awareness. The Yoga Sutras emphasize turning inward, focusing on one thing at a time, and observing emotional obstacles. As we deepen our practice, we develop a non-judgmental awareness, leading to the quieting of the ego and a realisation of our true, peaceful nature. Calmness reflects the vast, unchanging ocean beneath the waves of emotions, offering clarity and liberation. Achieving equanimity through practice brings lasting peace and tranquility, allowing us to let go of worldly distractions and embrace self-realisation and spiritual freedom. As Suzuki Roshi states, "Gaining enlightenment is an accident. Spiritual practice simply makes us accident-prone."
