Much has been said about the unparalleled role of yoga in promoting health and spiritual growth. But one of the most important contributions of yogic science is its capacity to inculcate balance, both physical and psychological. In a world of rapid sociological transformation and bewildering technological change, nothing is more crucial today than balance – an unfaltering equipoise that remains relatively unshaken — whatever the external stimulus or provocation.
Riding a bicycle without the necessary balance would be a disaster. The logic of life is similar. Even if one has tremendous capability, without the necessary psychological equilibrium, life can turn disastrous. Eighty percent of humanity does not explore its full potential because of the fear of suffering. With the requisite balance, however, one rides the troughs and peaks of life effortlessly.
So whatever the external situation is, maintaining inner balance is one basic outcome of practicing yoga.
Yes, absolutely. Remaining steady in the midst of the fluctuations of life; we become filled with the inner bliss inherent to our original nature. Thereby we reflect this possibility to all with whom we come into contact, and radiate tangible transformation to the world at large, and the entire universe.
