Hawaiian Lizard

The infamous “Gecko” captured on digital film. These little lizards are everywhere. They are considered omens for those who speak words followed by a chirp from a nearby gecko may consider that their words have been affirmed by the nearby spirits.
Geckos are wary of humans, but at the same time seem to have a streak of curiosity and will stand their ground inspecting the human who is inspecting them.
One wonders, staring eye-to-eye with a gecko, what he or she may be thinking.

In Patanjali's comments on the niyamas he speaks on religious action, kriya, bringing about samadhi and attenuating the kleshas. We think we have to be detached from that which we are attracted to but we also need to overcome aversion. It's easier to be finite, to have a past and a future than to be infinite, without past and future, so, we're clinging to life. The kleshas are the root source of karma. Quiet mental activity produced by the kleshas through meditation and achieve santosha, peace of mind. "Men of discrimination see sorrow in all experience."
Path to Siva, Lesson 40, Niyamas.
