Icarus (Classic Yoga)

The son of Daedalus of ancient Greek Mythology. According to legend, he and his father, wishing to fly, fashioned for themselves wings of feathers and fastened them on with wax. They flew into the sky but Icarus flew too near the sun, which melted the wax and he fell into the sea and was destroyed.
Easily, lightly, upwards and verily unnoticed,
dost thou bear up the burdens of life,
as the pollen of the flowers.
Let the crossing be easy again.
Easily, upwards, joyously.
Concern not thyselves with soles when wings are growing
upon thy shoulders.
But beware lest thou emulate Icarus. (LMG I, 297)
