Sahaj — Natural Samadhi
Yoga practice can lead to a beautiful state called sahaj samadhi in which you are living in contact with Spirit, aware of the connection all the time, while going about the activities of your daily life.

The key to your life being a lila, a Divine play between you and God, is to distinguish between your ego and your true self.
We are souls expressing through body and mind, but too often we ignore Spirit. The necessary ingredient for becoming spiritually aware is attraction to Spirit or God.
There are liberating truths in the Lord’s Prayer which can free you from what yogis call spiritual forgetfulness, the cause of suffering. Jesus set out a simple process to help people return to spiritual awareness — leaving behind karma and a life of trial and error.
Being stuck in an ego state and ignoring Spirit is the cause of all our suffering according to yogis. In this ignorance of Spirit, the ego endures endless conflicts and anxieties due to the kleshas (ignorance, egotism, immoderate liking, immoderate disliking, possessiveness).
Most of us, whether we admit it or not, are governed by our feelings. That’s why bhakti yoga, the yoga of love and devotion, can help us develop from where we are now to enjoying greater insight, compassion, inspiration and ecstatic love.
If you live from your false sense of self — your ego — you’ve forgotten who you truly are — the presence of higher consciousness, the Divine within you.
Growing in devotion is important — and so are greater peace and bliss. But, according to master yogi, Baba Hari Dass, those are not the true indicators of growth on the yoga path. The real measure of progress is a change in your samaskaras or habit patterns.
We ask you to commit two hours a week to selfless service. This service can be anything you choose ranging from helping a family member or neighbor to volunteering at a nonprofit organization.
This commitment is solely between you and your inner self.
