“Millions of people never analyse themselves. Mentally they are mechanical products of the factory of their environment, preoccupied with breakfast, lunch, and dinner, working and sleeping, and going here and there to be entertained. They don’t know what or why they are seeking, nor why they never realize complete happiness and lasting satisfaction. By evading self-analysis, people go on being robots, conditioned by their environment. True self-analysis is the greatest art of progress.” – Paramahansa Yogananda
How many people go through life without analysing themselves? How many of us are becoming mechanical products of our environment? Preoccupied and focused on daily survival routines like breakfast, lunch, and dinner, work, sleep, bills and empty entertainment never stop to ask who they are and what they are here for.
Lack self-awareness and not understanding of their why, they may never achieve complete happiness and lasting satisfaction. By avoiding self-analysis, people become like robots, conditioned by their environment and not who they really are.
Would you perform this greatest art of progress and encourage yourself to engage in self-analysis practice or prefer to continue conditioned by your exterior?
