“A little exposure to the philosophy of many Eastern spiritual traditions - including yoga - could easily lead you to conclude that if you aspire to achieve goals in the material world you cannot fulfill yourself spiritually, or vice versa.

“If yoga is about life, this means ALL life, not just part of it. Together, the spiritual and the material constitute the whole you, the whole of the experience of being human, and the nature of the universe in which you live. There may be no step more important to achieving ultimate fulfillment than accepting what the Vedas teach us about desires--that some desires are inpsired by your soul.” IfsHumansMayMeanImportantSoulWholeTogetherSpiritualDesireUniverseAcceptingStepsTeachAchieveMaterialsYogaUltimateYour SoulFulfillmentBeing HumanVedas Book:The Four Desires: Creating a Life of Purpose, Happiness, Prosperity, and Freedom Source: The Four Desires: Creating a Life of Purpose, Happiness, Prosperity, and Freedom
