through the regular practice of meditation. If you lack the will for such self-discipline, engage yourself in my work, for selfless service can lead you at least to complete fulfillment. If you are unable to do even this, surrender yourself to me, disciplining yourself and renouncing the results of all your actions.
-Bhagavad Gita 12:8-11
• Integrated Self - Fitting our intellectual, emotional, and creative selves together as a consistent, synchronized whole. Finding our purpose and greater balance and harmony so that we achieve greater meaning, passion and purpose in our lives and careers, and also ignite our potential rather being thwarted by self sabotaging behaviors
Why is the integrated self so important? Because it is your integrated self that works to support your values, realize your purpose. And, it is your values or the alignment of your values and your ability to feel that you are on purpose that drives how you see yourself, your ability to tap into intrinsic motivation and to achieve happiness.
Be fearless and pure; never waver in your determination or your dedication to the spiritual life. Give freely. Be self-controlled, sincere, truthful, loving, and full of the desire to serve. Realize the truth of the scriptures; learn to be detached and to take joy in renunciation. Do not get angry or harm any living creature, but be compassionate and gentle; show good will to all. Cultivate vigor, patience, will, purity; avoid malice
