The practice
of yoga teaches us how to remove the
self-imposed obstacles that prevent us from discovering our true self. The mind and the body normally feel limited,
but if we look to the soul we begin to understand the infinite energy of the universe
and we then begin to transcend our self-imposed
limitation.
This does
not mean that if we think we can fly we will be able to fly. The body and the mind
are controlled by the laws of nature.
However, what it does mean is that we
have the power to transcend our earthly burdens and experience nirvana
right here on earth. But this takes practice and devotion or the practice
of Bhakti yoga. Self-discovery is a journey
that involves devotion.
Bhakti
simply means we learn to use compassion and
understanding (love) to consciously uplift
and harmonize our relationships so
that they help to serve the process of self-discovery. Life after all is a
serious of relationships: with yourself,
with others, with the earth and with the universe. What you devote yourself to is what you become.
Nothing is achieved without practice.
Let’s practice.
Maya means illusion. It means that we are all caught up
in the illusion of what we call our reality. Relationships are here to serve you; both the ones’ that make you happy and the ones that are difficult. It is the difficult ones that
have the greatest opportunity to help you reach
self-discovery. These call upon you to examine
who you are. In all relationships examine who you are and what you are doing
and being. In this you will
begin to discover your true self.
