“If I'm losing balance in a pose, I stretch higher and God
reaches down to steady me. It works every time, and not
just in yoga. ”

Your purpose in life
Every human being is born with a purpose.
This purpose is called one’s dharma. So, one can ask
‘How do I know what my dharma is?’ This is a difficult
question to answer for someone else, except by a spiritually
realized person who knows you well.
Based on one’s past actions, one’s mindset is
most suited to achieve a certain set of related goals. By
past actions, I don’t mean actions in one’s past life. One
doesn’t have to accept a principle beyond one’s belief. The
actions that you have carried out in this life are the
foundation for identifying one’s dharma.
Few people are fortunate to identify one’s
dharma early on or even in one’s lifetime. There are many
means of identifying this; you can refer to ‘Creating
the work you love’ by Rick Jarrow for one. When you can
identify what that purpose is, things flow out of you
naturally. You don’t have to be motivated to do that one
thing that is your life’s goal. People who are considered
talented have done exactly the same – they earlier on in
their life identified what is it that that want to focus on.
When you watch Andre Agassi give out this 150% every time on
the court, you know he was right on target.
Say, you know what you want to do in your
lifetime and it is what you have spent time on for many,
many years. Is that the end? Do you not seek further
purpose? The answer is, you don’t stop at that. That is
human nature. A human being constantly tries to evolve
spiritually. One purpose leads to a higher purpose, opening
new realms of Self-realization. Andre, through his
realization in tennis, wants to do more and more service to
mankind.
If you read ‘Autobiography
of an Yogi’ by Yogi Paramahamsa, his master Swami
Yukteshwar asks him ‘Why is it that you are against
involving in organizational matters?’ Paramahamsa-ji says,
that he seeks God Realization through his association with
his master and through meditation and that is what he wants
to do. The master replies ‘If you are Self-realized’ why
don’t you want to do a service to the mankind – God’s
children – and let everyone know how to achieve the same.
Paramahamsa-ji went on to establish institutions of learning
and Self-realization that has influenced millions and
millions of people world wide.
If you have a talent, teach it to others.
Share it with others. Maybe that is your purpose in life.

PS: If you have any medical conditions, it is
best to consult your doctor and your instructor personally
to discuss what is appropriate for you. Personal one on one
session(s) and not group classes may be necessary to
determine what is right given your specific conditions, as
the right prescription requires constant feedback,
monitoring and corrections. Please ask your instructor for
basic
precautions
before attending a Yoga class.
