Where to Seek Yoga - Daily Inspiration
The most important place where Yoga and Vedanta are to be found and practiced is everyday life and one's own heart, not only books or sacred places.
This is Dharma, Kshetra. The field of Dharma, everyday life. Dharma, Kshetra, the day, the place of daily duty, that is the place where you practice Yoga and Vedanta.
The text asks where Yoga and Vedanta are to be found. It names books, sacred places, and ashrams as possible places where Yoga and Vedanta can be experienced. Particular emphasis is placed on the fact that sacred places have a special atmosphere that strengthens the spirit. The central point, however, is that the most important place is everyday life. This is referred to as Dharma-Kshetra, that is, the field of daily duty. Yoga and Vedanta are to permeate the heart and mind of the individual. Without an inner touch of unity, love, and the Divine, Yoga and Vedanta remain only external. The text calls for the spiritual practice to be realized in one's own everyday life and inner being.
