#Yoga Today ~ #Power is the Sixth Treasure

 

 

 

 

 

 

Power is referred to as the ability to influence the will or conduct of others. It is also the ability to control and direct your energy towards your goals, as well as control over your conduct.  Power resides within the individual. It is independent and informal in nature and is derived from charisma and status. Power allows a person to influence and set an example for millions of people. On a smaller scale we have power over our children, employees, students, family members, friends and ourselves. How we use power determines our prosperity.

 

Power has nothing to do with accumulating great material wealth, however often times great wealth comes as the result of this treasures. Misuse of power is known as manipulation. It may gain you the upper hand temporarily, but it will at some point bring rebellion, disgust, hatred, humiliation and destruction. Think of all the powerful leaders who misused their power. All were eventually met with great opposition, defeat and death. Power at its best is used to empower others.  

 

In these trying times look deep within the Nidhi, the container which is you, and use the treasure of power for the good of all. Yoga reminds us to always do that which creates the greatest good for the greatest many. Sometimes sacrifice is necessary in order to gain prosperity. Ultimate power belongs to those who use it to empower others. Be powerful.
