Swami Satyananda always said that a human being has the faculties of head, heart and hands which are used day in and day out. If we deal with the awakening of one faculty only, the growth is lopsided. There should be a good combination of practices which can fulfil the need of head, heart and hands in order to uplift a person. It is appropriate for us all to take a sankalpa. Sankalpa means a resolution, and this resolution should be that we must learn to take care of our entire personality. We must take care of our whole being, not only the part which grows above ground but also the part that spreads underground, and that can be tapped with the practices of yoga.
The roots of our life are our deeper inner nature and the experience of spirit. The caring aspect of life should and will happen when we are able to incorporate a balanced yogic structure in our life. It is with this awareness that we must go deeper into the practices and understanding of yoga. Only then can we find peace within. There is a statement of Swami Satyananda which I remember and keep close to my heart, “There is no noise in the world and there is no peace in the mountains.” There is no peace in isolation and there is no disturbance in a noisy situation, they both exist within every person.
If one is not at peace with oneself, then even in the most remote corner of the world one will not attain peace. If one is at peace with oneself, then even in the middle of the market one would be at total peace.

 

 

Peace is something which you all want desperately in your life. You search for peace all around, but you have never tried to discover the cause of that disturbance which does not allow you to experience peace. You must first know the cause of a disturbance and when you know the cause it is easy to find a solution and attain peace.
Therefore, it is my request and suggestion that all of you find the cause, and then you will find the solution to a problem. Don’t look for simple solutions in life. You have to make choices which will be conducive to your own development and they should also be conducive in helping, supporting and assisting others. That is the only way to change yourself from deep inside.

Head, heart and hands.

Swami Satyananda always said that a human being has the faculties of head, heart and hands which are used day in and day out.

There should be a good combination of practices which can fulfil the need of head, heart and hands in order to uplift a person. It is appropriate for us all to take a sankalpa.
