Our existence is the outcome of our choices. Each of them, in fact, shapes our life as individuals in relationship with others and as unique human beings. Every choice is rooted in an act of will; therefore, willpower is the driving force of our existence.
Learning to educate and develop the strength of our will is one of the first prerequisites for living as masters within our inner dwelling and for evolving in the best possible way, both for ourselves and for others, until we come to experience Love.
This book contains teachings and Yoga methods that can help us develop a strong and wise will. By analyzing the main causes of character flaws and the existential suffering that follows from them, it clarifies which attitudes, behaviors, and mistaken choices hinder the awakening of our most precious inner resources, and which, instead, foster the development of the natural wisdom and happiness latent within every human being.
“Strong is not the one who never falls, but the one who, having fallen, rises again.”
— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“Indeed, it is also said that a person is made of desire: as is one’s desire, so is one’s will; as is one’s will, so is one’s action; and as is one’s action, so is the result that follows.”
— Brihadaranyaka Upanishad IV.4.5
