Yoga in Daily Life Workshop in Villach on 12th of June (1/1)
Meditation requires a foundation free from fear, anger, jealousy, selfishness, and dissatisfaction; it also demands faith and a clear goal. Inner peace arises from selfless action and helping others, which dispels fear and creates happiness for all involved. Judging others, especially those in need, blocks the natural flow of compassion and prosperity, which is like the goddess Lakṣmī—constantly moving and unable to be held. True giving is without attachment or claim over how the gift is used; it is an action that purifies the giver's own karma. Contentment is the highest form of wealth and the essence of peace, which is our original, eternal state. Modern restlessness stems from misplaced values, possessiveness, and the breakdown of the harmonious, loving family, which is the protector of peace and proper upbringing. Peace is cultivated within through understanding, love, and the repetition of sacred sound.
"Gaj dhan, bhaj dhan, aur ratan dhan khān, Jab santosh dhan āyā, sab dhan dhūl samān."
"You have helped your own Self perform selfless actions so that you become free from other heavy karmas. You have helped yourself, not helped someone else."
