RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

Cultivating Your Heart and Personality

How to know your heart’s true feeling

In terms of awakening, the most important principle is the cultivation of the heart, the feeling nature. When free of blockages, the heart is found to be filled with unconditional love. You already have it. Learn how to allow the heart center to live in ongoing love, peace and joy.

Essential Life Skills, Heart Center
  • Hazrat Inayat Khan:  The art of personality is that profound, deep feeling which directs every thought, speech and action.
  • The heart’s true feeling, when free of anger, fear, guilt, grief, arrogance, prejudice and jealousy, is unconditional love
  • The more you live from the ego (the false sense of self) and selfish motive, the less you can experience spiritual awakening
  • Cultivate the heart by being less I-centered and more God and soul-centered
  • Most often, spiritual awakening is received through the heart
  • When the heart is attuned, we naturally have, and express, sympathy

Extend Love

Consciously tune in with God. Understand that God wants to help humanity through you. We are not talking about a fantasy. We are talking about the feeling of love and sympathy flowing in and through every person, ideally. May all of us love one another as a result of soul attunement. This is our higher calling. May we practice love and extend that love to all.

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?
