The first teaching of yoga to seek the guidance of inner spirit first and then to use that insight to meet the demands of the external world. ⁠ ⁠ The opposite often occurs, where individuals seek guidance from outside first and then listen to their inner self later—often causing great distress, because the self has been compromised by following the wrong voice. ⁠ ⁠ Only your own voice is your truth. ⁠ @theonecheri
