When you live from this inner dimensionality, no matter what happens, you sail right through it. You've got a deep keel. You walk and talk, you live in the world, you do things and share your life with others, but they do not make you who you are. You bring the whole of you into everything you do but you're never limited by those things, nor by other people’s ideas of who or what you should be. You know you are more. You know your own Self.

Watch Gurudevi's full discourse "Living on an Even Keel" here: 

Being a yogi in the world doesn’t mean withdrawing from the world. What seems to be only a mundane world is divinely designed to engage you fully. When you ground your sense of self in the deeper dimension of your own being, you are you, even in the midst of life’s realities. Bring the light of your own Being into the world.

That’s why everything we do here is to give you this extraordinary inner experience, the experience of God within. God being you. This is the experience of your own Self. This is what meditation is about, and all of yoga’s other wonderful practices. From poses through breathing, chanting, seva, and certainly the study of the teachings, they all prepare you for this experience. The whole point is for you to have an experience of your own Self. – Gurudevi Nirmalananda

When you shine with the light of Consciousness, you bring that light into your life and into the world.  You become an agent of light.  You’re not a messenger of light. A messenger carries a message from someone else. This light doesn’t belong to someone else. It’s your light.  It’s the light of your own being.

To pour your energies toward something that has meaning to you. To volunteer your time, and do simple tasks that support the Ashram and the Guru’s work. It makes your life more meaning filled. The meaning of life is found in what you put into it, not what you get out of it.  – Gurudevi Nirmalananda
