Connect Within
A river flows, flows, and flows, and one day reaches its destination. Life also, both your and mine, like a river, is always flowing. With every day that passes, we are going somewhere. In this journey many things have come and gone, are coming and going, and will come and go. People, situations, our own body and mind, our likes and dislikes, and the world around too, all will go through changes. But there is something deep within us that does not change and will not change, “the real me.”
In the years that went by we might have tried to build healthy and wholesome relationships with others, but have we tried to do so with our own real self. Have we tried to connect within and be in harmony with our true nature?
Probably not. Perhaps it might never have crossed our minds that while trying to connect with others, we have missed to connect with ourselves. Seldom we realize, this is the prime cause of our feeling incomplete and dissatisfied within.
Here, yoga comes to our help. Yoga, much popular Sanskrit word, is the age-old science of embarking upon the inner journey, the journey within the self. A very insightful verse in the Bhagavad Gita, the most authentic book in this science, states,
“One whose happiness is within, who is active and rejoices within, and whose aim is inward is actually the perfect mystic (yogi).” (5.24)
This verse not only specifies the importance of being firmly situated within to qualify ourselves to experience the inner joy, but also gives us a clue of how we can relate with the external world in the most beneficial and meaningful way. Someone who connects within well will naturally connect without well.
It is a journey which we all should take upon some time in our life, earliest the best, because the journey is long and the destination is something extraordinary, something highly promising and out of this world.
I started this journey a decade back when I was a university-going student. Many things have changed in my life too, but the path is set and the journey is on. Seeing and experiencing the rewards that have come my way I wish to share with others who have even the slightest of the inclination to answer to their spiritual calling, a very simple, scientific and easily practiced process of connecting within as I have learned from the Bhagavad Gita and other texts on yoga.
We have come up with a freshly designed online course, and the details are in the poster below.
