Do you know why birds form a V when flying? Apparently, they do this so they can sync their flapping, then the bird behind can catch the updraft of the bird in front, and they all save energy during flight. This saving energy as a group also applies to humans cycling. A study found that if you’re at the back of a group of 8 riders cycling at 40km/hour, you save up to 39% of your energy. What these phenomena are telling us is that if you join a group who’s doing exactly the same thing as you, you’ll get to where you need to go with a lot less effort.
The focus of the month is gathering of the tribes, its basis is a concept called “satsang” or a gathering of like-minded people. Satsang refers to good company, not just any company. If we keep “bad” company and we spend our time and effort on pursuing sensory pleasures, that is precisely where we will be stuck and inevitable suffer. But if we keep “good” company and together we seek the truth, as sincere yoga practitioners do, then liberation will come to us with less effort.
