Most people remain entangled in the quagmire of work, family, and self-imposed duties. Overwhelmed by pressures, they retreat into a ‘slow-paced lifestyle’ or even quit altogether. But true evolution is not escapism. It is the art of engaging in life fully but without getting bound. Play your roles amid wealth, pleasure and relationships. Yet remain untouched and undisturbed.
Through the confluence of Yoga Sadhana, a transformative lifestyle and Jnana Abhyasa pursuit of Self-knowledge, cultivate Vairagya. Remain a Saakshi, witness. Live like the lotus leaf in water.
