How to balance work and Yoga
Question
DEAR DHANANJAYJI
HELLO SIR,
THE PRACTICE OF BRHAMCHARYA OR ADVANCE MEDIATION MAY IMPACT ON OUR SERVICES OR ON STUDENT CAREER. WHETHER THEY WILL GIVE THEIR FOCUS ON REQUIREMENT OF THE LIVELIHOOD OR ONE HAS TO LEVE SUCH THINGS AND TOTALLY FOCUS ON BRHAMCHARYA.
BECAUSE DUE TO PRACTICE OF BRHAMCHARYA MY MIND CONSTATLY THING ABOUT SUCH STORY AND MEDIATION. I CAN NOT FOCUS ON MY STUDY.
A PERSON SHOULD PERFORM THE COMPLETE SET OF ASANA-S OR MEDITATION HOW TO CONTROL HIS DAY TO DAY ACTIVITIES.
WHETHER THERE IS BALANCE OF SUCH THINS OR WE HAVE TO WHOLLY SURRENDER TO MEDITATION OR DHYAN.
PLEASE FURTHER GIVE YOUR WARM REPLY

Answer
1. Setting aside some time for Yogic practices and meditation, the rest of the time is to be utilized in honestly performing ones Dharma (such as that of a student, professional etc.) without attachment.
2. When performing Yogic practice and meditation, the mind should be completely involved in the activity and think of nothing else. The thought should be that of the Lord, seeking Mukti (liberation).
Similarly, when involved in worldly work which is a part of ones Dharma, one should work devotedly towards the activity on hand with the thought I shall complete this work to the level of excellence as a service to the Almighty, whose Leela I am a part of. I do this work not for myself but as a token of service to HIM.
When such an approach is followed, it does not matter much whether the work is in the world or without it. Such a Yogi speedily overcomes his worldly obligations and progresses fast in the path of liberation.
