Right Choice – An integral part of Yoga


Our choices determine the direction of life. Our present state of life is purely set by the choices that we made in the past. Future life will be determined by the choices of the present. We are always confronted with the choices at every stage of life. Right choice sets the right direction in life.
How do we know that the choices are right? It is an act of discrimination. The power of discrimination comes from the intellect ( Bhuddhi). So, if one sets his intellect right then the choices that follow stay correct for a blissful life.
Human fundamental entities: As per yoga, we are made up five sheaths. Technically, they are called as Annamaya (physical), Pranamaya (energy),Manonmaya (mental) ,vygnanmaya (intellectual)& Anandamaya( blissful) Koshas.
We move in life with the real purpose and meaning only when the human system within operates optimally. The system comprises of hardware, software and power to boot up. Our physical body (Annamaya) is the hardware, mental body ( manonmaya) is the software and is powered by the energy (pranamaya)body.

Intellect: A well balanced system at the physical, mental & energy level gives rise to a healthy intellect body ( vygnanmaya).With this , the right choices are initiated that set the blissful ( anandamaya) life.

Health: Health is nothing but the balanced physical, mental & energy states. For the choices to be right, a well-balanced healthy state is required to set the right type of intellect. Health is the basic foundation for the life. So, let us work towards health not only at the physical level but in all the three different layers. It is important for each one of us to have a structured program that trains our physical, mental & energy bodies. So, pay attention to the detail while picking up the right program to train you to grow holistically.
