The Yogic View Modern lives have led to ever-increasing levels of stress, where many now feel the "weight of the world" upon their shoulders. Yoga teaches us that many of the problems we face are a result of our own misperceptions, conditioned attitudes and wrong views, and that relief from our struggles and worries can only come from changing our perspectives. As Epietetus said in 60 A.D; "men are not disturbed by things, but by the views they take of them". This sentiment was echoed by the great Swamiji Gitananda Giri Gurumaharaj who used to tell his students, "You don't have a problem. You are the problem!" |
