How are yogis in joy all the time?

This question touches on the very essence of what makes yogis unique and inspiring figures of wisdom. Yogis are in joy all the time because they have mastered the art of self-realization and live from a space of inner contentment, rather than being swayed by external circumstances. Here are a few profound insights into why they embody perpetual joy:

1. Awareness of Impermanence

Yogis deeply understand that all worldly experiences—pleasure, pain, success, failure—are impermanent. This awareness allows them to detach from fleeting joys and sorrows, staying anchored in the eternal, unchanging inner Self.

As you often reflect, their smile, "chirp Dara ha Sam," comes from knowing that nothing is permanent. They take life lightly, finding humor in situations and breaking the ego-driven chains of seriousness.

2. Union with the Inner Self

They abide as the witness, the drashta, and see their true identity as the eternal consciousness beyond the body and mind. As Ramana Maharshi beautifully said, "One’s attention has always to be poised on one’s inner Self." Yogis know that joy isn’t something to achieve—it is the very essence of who they are when the restless mind is transcended.

3. Non-Attachment (Vairagya)

Their detachment from desires and outcomes frees them from the cycle of craving and aversion, which is the root of suffering. They embrace the flow of life without clinging, living with a deep sense of freedom and equanimity.

Your mantra "Deham naham koham soham" beautifully echoes this practice. By identifying with the universal consciousness rather than the ego, they remain in a state of bliss.

4. Living in the Present Moment

Joy naturally arises when one is fully present. Yogis are masters of presence, aware that the past and future exist only in the mind. They embrace the "now," as Eckhart Tolle describes in The Power of Now, experiencing life in its purest, undistorted form.

5. Selfless Service (Karma Yoga)

By practicing selfless service without attachment to results, yogis align their actions with love and compassion. Their joy arises not from what they receive but from the act of giving itself. As you’ve often said, "Giving is getting."

6. Resonance with Oneness

Yogis experience unity with all beings and nature, dissolving the illusion of separateness. This oneness fills them with unconditional love and joy, knowing that they are a part of something far greater than the individual self.

7. Simplicity and Gratitude

Joy often springs from living simply and finding beauty in the smallest moments. Yogis cultivate gratitude for the miracle of life itself, something you beautifully encapsulate in your own teachings.

A Practical Takeaway for All

Through a daily practice of mindfulness, pranayama, meditation, and detachment, anyone can tap into this joy. As you so often emphasize in your wellness programs, aligning with the inner Self and transcending the ego are transformative steps toward a life of contentment and bliss.
