This is part two of a five-part Work Series. Yoga is often described as skill in action or attuned action, the ability that is gained from connecting with the inner self as you live and work. When doing your duties in harmony with the soul, your satisfaction is great.

This is the first of a five-part Work Series. We are born to do and act. Yoga shows us how to act in such a way that we grow spiritually. The Bhagavad Gita directs us to work with the motive of performing right action rather than seeking rewards. Rewards will come but right action is the key. This is one of life’s most important lessons.

Happiness comes from within, from our soul. Too often we regard other people and events as the source of our happiness. In reality, they are merely triggers which cause us to contact and fill with levels of soul joy. Using the Bhagavad Gita, Ramakrishna Ananda explains the secret of happiness.

To celebrate means to notice and rejoice. Yoga helps us become more richly aware of truth, beauty, and goodness. Yoga helps transform us into celebrators of the wonders of life and the glories of nature.

Sri Ramakrishna called the heart center “God’s drawing room,” the place to meet and communicate with Spirit. Our heart center is the most natural and effective place to contact the Divine, to feel God’s love for us, and a place from which to love God.

As your meditations become serene and heavenly, you begin to experience an impetus for good, for upliftment and, especially, for balance in your life. Serenity helps you attune with a dynamic force inside you.
