"We all know individuals who don’t connect their inner life to their outer life. They give meditation a high priority when they sit to meditate and want to go within. Outside of meditation, when they are at work or school, they don’t apply the same level of willpower and concentration. Some even belittle ordinary life, taking a “whatever” attitude: “It doesn’t matter as much. The inner life—that’s what’s important. The outer life—that’s something to be endured.” What’s wrong with such an attitude?" </video> <video> Is There Still A Need For Hinduism - Publisher's Desk Description: Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami Publisher's Desk - An answer to the academic world’s notion that religion has been superceded by rational thought and the ascendance of science </video> <video> Mistakes Are Part of The Spiritual Path - Publisher's Desk Description: </video> <video> The Power of Kindly Speech - Publisher's Desk Description: Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami reads his April Publisher's Desk: The Power of Kindly Speech </video> <video> The World Is an Ashram - Publisher's Desk Description: Life is demanding and you have no time for spiritual pursuits?
