In the second part of our dharma talk series, Michael builds upon our previous discussion on the Eight Limbs of Yoga and the Bhagavad Gita. Reflecting on how our actions and relationships influence our practice, he emphasizes the importance of addressing habitual patterns of thought and behaviour. Michael explores the challenge of recognizing our own suffering, or Dukha, and how our tendency to mask discontent can obscure our true state. Recorded January 23, 2007.
