SIMPLE, DEFINED

I added a third kira to my asana practice this morning -- bowing.  Basically, you kneel on the ground, and bow to touch your forehead to the floor - over and over and over.  Gurmukh writes, that this is a "simple pose."  

Which helps me understand what "simple" means, really -- it doesn't mean Easy!!  To me, to be simple means to be pared down of unnecessary and burdening complexities - to be direct - but it doesn't mean easy, or dumbed-down, or simplistic.  Simple can be transformative.
