"The silence of meditation, coupled with the longing to serve a higher purpose allows us to be continuously led by Spirit....Once you know yourself as a genuine seeker, and when your own inner chamber is quite enlightened, then comes the natural unfoldment of pure love and compassion and a genuine desire to serve others. You realize that by serving others, you are actually serving God. The realization comes that the purpose of your life is to give whatever you have received from your own teachers, from the tradition, and from God's grace." ~ Rod Stryker, Master Yoga Teacher
