Integral Yoga
L.M.: It has to be a daily habit.
S. SATCH: Be aware of your problems. And cultivate the opposite qualities. At the same time, ask yourself: Why am I angry? What is the cause? You will then come down ultimately to: that I didn't get what I want. I found him or her interfering in what I want. So you get angry, you hate them. You make them your enemy.
L.M.: We should be making friends of them, converting our enemies into friends.
S. SATCH: Think of the negative aspects of it. If you're angry, then you are affecting yourself.
L.M.: The body“our bodies.
S. SATCH: Body suffers, mind suffers. You get stressed. So you are affecting yourself even before you affect the other person. It's not worth it. So we should also practice self-analysis.
L.M.: What does living the good life really mean, as the path of Integral Yoga understands it to be?
S. SATCH: What is the good life? I use three words for that, they summarize the entire yoga, or entire religion-all religions. The first word is easeful.
L.M.: Easeful.
S. SATCH: Easeful, not to be dis-easeful. To be easeful is to be peaceful. And then, by being easeful and peaceful, you become useful.
L.M.: Before that, we're nor useful.
S. SATCH: No, we will be a problematic person. If you're not peaceful and easeful, you'll be a nuisance to others.
L.M.: Even to yourself.
