The Art of Fulfilling Your Nature is a brilliant gem of wisdom gained through a lifetime of spiritual exploration and scholarship. Dr. O'Brien draws on his experience as a yogi and close disciple of Swami Rama, one of India's most adept yogis, to show how awakening to one's inner light can illumine one's outer life. This personal growth book is transparently clear, down to earth, and offers guidance to integrate mind, body, and spirit.
Dr. O'Brien begins The Art of Fulfilling Your Nature by grounding the reader in explorations of theology and philosophy. From there he examines adversity and how to transcend it, providing guidance on deepening the yoga practice with meditation, contemplation, and pranayama, while highlighting the wisdom of the Yoga Sutras. He acknowledges that most yogis live firmly in the world, not in far-off cave monasteries. For them, he offers lessons for daily living in this complex, sometimes maddening, modern world. And in the final chapters, he calls us home, imploring us to know ourselves, to acknowledge our guru within. In closing, he honors those who walked before us, who paved the sacred path we now tread.
Read The Art of Fulfilling Your Nature to connect again with that eternal spark within, to shake yourself free from the grasp of mediocrity, to fully realize the life you were destined to live.
