RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

Humility is the Way to Bliss — Part 1

How to release the ego states which block bliss

In the view of yoga, we are all meant to live in bliss. Bliss is already inside each of us but is often hard to find. As the ego becomes humble we can awaken to the joy of the true self. Discover how humility can lead to a life of bliss, harmony and attunement.

Devotional Yoga

Give Humility a Chance

If you seek bliss, give humility a chance. Arrogant people are cut off from God and soul experience because the ego, the false sense of self, is in the way. They are cut off from spiritual awareness, including bliss, and don’t realize the great happiness to be found within.

By practicing humility, people can connect with their own soul, other people, God, and the universe at large. Humility is essential for finding, receiving and living in bliss.

  • Humility:  the state or quality of being humble; absence of pride or self-assertion
  • The ego, the false sense of self, craves self-importance
  • We can experience bliss when our focus shifts from I, I, I to You, You, You
  • Practice humility through pronam (my soul humbly bows to your soul)
  • Sri Ramakrishna demonstrated how to live in peace by appreciating others and their paths
  • Release bliss blockers:  ongoing states of need, fear, anger or ego dominance

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?
