Most traditional science-based philosophies agree that at some elemental level, everything is a constantly roiling, evolving mix of two oppositionally charged states of matter: Yin & Yang.
Raja Yoga agrees completely, but allows for the reality that everything is actually a blend of the two opposites: some state of gray, and thus refers to three states of energetic matter: Rajas, Tamas and Sattva, the latter being a perfect balance between the other two. The aim of the practice of Raja Yoga is to foster sattvic thoughts, energy and actions!
Laundry day provides a visual reminder of Patanjali’s view of the scientific underpinnings of our universe. Your body, clothes, food, etc. are all constituted of nature’s Yin & Yang energetic molecules in the same way that your favorite streamed movies, TV shows and video games are two dimensional manifestations of a bunch of manmade 0’s and 1’s!
See the miracle of life in everything and you WILL smile more than you frown!
