Reach Your Potential
()
About this ebook
Based on the classical teachings of Yoga philosophy and wisdom, this book illuminates what will be most supportive in order to reach your potential in all aspects of your life. In this mini-book, part of the Peter Max Cover Art Series, Sri Swami Satchidananda focuses on how we can reach our health, wellness, and happiness potential, as well as how to cultivate self-mastery. Through the Yoga practices, he shows how we can activate our potential through Hatha Yoga, self-healing, and meditation practices and then how we can extend the benefits in our relationships and in building a better world. He also addresses how Yoga enables us to reach the “great goal,” often referred to as Self-realization or nirvana.
“Reach your potential. How? Become liberated from all that binds you. How to do that? By gaining self-mastery. You will enjoy the world when you know how to handle it well, when you become the master of it. In that way, you will free yourself from misery, suffering, and unhappiness. This is the aim of Yoga.” —Swami Satchidananda

Reach Your Potential - Swami Satchidananda
This is Yoga
Instead of talking about peace and joy, about God, we should do something to realize God. Keep the mind clean, the body clean, the life well-disciplined, the heart dedicated. This is Yoga. Stay away from anything that disturbs your peace, from anything that will bring disappointments, anxieties and worries.
The people we call great saints and prophets were the ones who gave themselves completely. We never worship a millionaire who died without being of any use. Put others first. Only then will you really find peace and joy. If you want to live happily, if you want to have inner peace, let every minute of your life be useful to the world. See that you bring peace and joy to everybody and no harm to anybody.
With that outlook on life, the whole world becomes a beautiful Yoga ashram. We don’t need to retreat
from the world because the world will treat us well! Don’t worry about theology. ls there a God here or there? Did I live before? Am I going to live again?
Think of the golden present.
Let the whole world know by your example that you are something beautiful and divine. Let your actions bring out that cosmic beauty. Lead a simple life, as natural as possible in dress, food, and behavior. Be like a child. This will not only take care of you, but your surroundings, your country, and ultimately the whole world.
Let your Yoga practice reveal to you all of your potential. Know that there is a vast ocean of Cosmic Consciousness that is your essential nature. You are not different or distinct from That—that is your True Self.
Let us not put up barriers or let our egos separate us from it. Know yourself to be not a wave in the ocean, but the ocean itself. Go deep within and you will discover an ocean of peace lying just behind the restless mind.
Become humble and selfless and you will get a glimpse of unending joy. If you taste that joy even once in your life, you will know it is for that joy you are here.
Go happily, joyfully, peacefully, and share this knowledge, this spirit, with the entire world. Share it with all who come close to you.
