RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

What’s Your Heart’s True Desire?

How to be a more loving person

The Kabbalah explains that the Infinite Spirit expresses through us in ten main ways. Our motives evolve until our soul, the Spirit within, reveals Itself. We find great fulfillment when our soul expresses fully through our mind, heart, body, words and actions. As we grow, our motives become higher and more spiritual. Ultimately, our motives become love and joy. Investigate spiritual techniques like Opening the Inner Gates to refine your motives and allow Spirit’s power, energy, love and light to express.

Upgrade Your Motives

We want our motives to be our allies, empowering and helping us. One way to refine and upgrade your motives is to examine the basis behind them. Also, consider what attributes of Spirit you presently embody and which could express more fully. The secret is to dedicate your motives, movements and abilities to God.

What happens as you grow and your motives become higher and more spiritual? Spirit, power, energy, love and light come pouring through.

  • Our motives evolve until our soul, the Spirit within, reveals Itself and expresses freely
  • Kathopanishad 2:2:  Both the pleasant and the good approach a person. The wise one discriminates between the two. The wise prefers the good; the fool chooses the pleasant.
  • Consider whether your motives come from wanting the good or wanting the pleasant
  • One helpful way to refine our motives is to dedicate them to God
  • As our motives become more spiritual, everything is done out of love and joy
  • Opening the Inner Gates by Edward Hoffman & Meditation and Kabbalah by Aryeh Kaplan are used as references
Love and Joy
Do your motives come from a sense of strength or weakness?
Are your endeavors being sabotaged?

How to Succeed

As you may know, we do not charge for our courses. All Yoga World content is free and available to you with our blessings. However, we do have a simple, but important request that’s key to the transformations necessary to succeed on the path.

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.

I Commit to Serve

This commitment is solely between you and your inner self.

Why the Commitment?
