RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

The Mystery of Action

Find out how to rise above good and bad results

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.

Yoga in Daily Life, Harmony

Find Satisfaction in the Soul

Accepting both adversity and prosperity, you are tied to neither. Anger, fear and worry are cast off. If you are able to release desires from your heart and feel satisfied and delighted in the real self behind your actions, you will become a sage, a wise person. With equanimity meet the challenges and events of life, be they favorable or unfavorable. Because you are in the state of equilibrium, you will work at your best.

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?
