In his book, ‘a Million Thoughts’, Om Swami describes how we are all born with two innate needs at birth, Happiness & Freedom, and that these drive our thoughts, actions, & behaviour.

I consider there is a third, Peace.

Together, Happiness, Freedom & Peace form our Three Spiritual Goals.

While our heart & soul shares these goals with our mind & body our human side often looks for them in different places, and this can lead to dissonance & emotional suffering.

It is only when both heart & soul and mind & body are aligned, acting together in harmony, that we are rewarded with experiencing happiness, peace, & freedom.
