🌕 Four Pillars of a Meaningful Life | Living with Shakti, Dharma & Balance | Retreat Reflections from Upasana
From the serene grounds of Upasana during a sacred retreat, Babaji offers this heartfelt reflection on the theme of Shakti—our innate energy—and how we may direct it meaningfully in our lives. Drawing from the yogic tradition, he shares the ancient framework of the four Purusharthas: Artha (right livelihood), Dharma (righteous duty), Kama (passion and joy), and Moksha (liberation). These are the essential aims that make a human life rich, purposeful, and balanced. In a world full of distractions, obligations, and overcommitments, Baba reminds us that it is not how much we do, but how consciously we do it, and whether it touches these four streams of living.
💫 “Wherever my attention flows, that is where Shakti flows.” He reflects deeply on:
The beauty of simplicity and contentment
Giving space to our children and relationships
How over-scheduling can crowd out the soul
Finding time daily for seva (selfless service)
Returning to your sadhana, your own sacred practice
Practicing gratitude as a form of puja (worship)
Living each day in a way that honors your inner fullness
With gentle humor, clarity, and compassion, Baba speaks about the small changes that bring big alignment—so that your life may be illuminated, like the moon on Guru Purnima, with the divine light already shining upon you. In this talk, you’ll learn:
How to align your energy with Artha, Dharma, Kama, and Moksha
The importance of being emotionally present for loved ones
How seva can be simple and spontaneous
Why sadhana must be practical and portable
How to balance your roles without losing your center
🌼 “Life is not meant to be complicated. Let us choose joy, stillness, and purpose.” This is a gentle invitation to simplify, to be grateful, and to choose wisely how your energy flows—so that your life itself becomes a puja, a sacred offering to the world. 🙏 Thank you for listening.
