Yoga teaches us that wisdom is not just accumulation

of knowledge. True knowledge is learning everything that

is worthwhile and forgetting everything that is worthless.

This is wisdom-Jnana.

Share this knowledge with others who deserve it. Offer

free to those who are poor and offer in exchange to rich

people. Thickness is not money alone. It means

confidence, compassion and courage, Love, Laughter and

learning, give these to those who need. This is Dhana.

Extend to others the right to life and live a life of

righteousness. Respect of justice and sentiment, regard for

morality is Dharma.

Do duty not for happiness but with happiness. This

planet belongs to all and no one has monopoly over it.Understand the difference between liberty and licence. If

we have right we have duties too. This is Karma.

calmness, sense of detachment. Every problem hides a

solution with in, meditate on it and the light will dawn.
