(or Purpose in Life)
The seventh spiritual law is the Law of Dharma, which
states that every sentient being has a purpose in life. You
have unique abilities and your own way of expressing
them. There are needs in this world for which your spe-
cific talents are ideally suited, and when the world’s
needs are matched with the creative expression of your
talents, your purpose—your dharma—is realized.
To be in dharma, your life force must flow effortlessly
without interference. The practice of yoga provides a
direct mechanism to release energy blockages in your
body. When obstacles to the flow of your vital energy are
removed, you become capable of expressing more
expanded aspects of your self. Increasing compassion,
wisdom, and playfulness are evidence that your life is
flowing in accordance with the Law of Dharma.
