In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic we have all dealt with weariness. In the midst of crisis we get busy “doing” and we forget about “being”.  When we get caught up in the doing it exhausts us. In this practice we practice surrender, vairagya, taking right action and letting go of the results of those actions so as to avoid disappointment.
