Beginner’s Yoga: The Big 5 Yogic Wisdom on Love & Wealth

If you think love is elusive and wealth even more so, you'll be happy you read this. Because the world’s most revered spiritual icons like Krishna, Patanjali, Christ and Yogananda whispered a different truth. It’s not what we’re chasing, but how we’re chasing it.

The most enlightened teachers — Krishna, Jesus, Patanjali, Yogananda, and the seers of the Upanishads offered something richer: a soul-first path that naturally attracts love and abundance. No hacks. No hustle. Just ALIGNMENT (you'll be hearing this word a lot here). 

Here's what the greats taught us (in modern lingo that lands).

1. Get Clear on What You Want (And Why)

Inspired by Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras 🕉

“When the mind becomes free from distractions, it becomes clear like a crystal.”

Yoga, at its root, isn’t about stretching your hamstrings or doing headstands. Patanjali made it clear: yoga begins with the mind. The first steps—the yamas (ethical foundations) and niyamas (personal disciplines)—lay the groundwork for true transformation. These are part of the eight limbs of yoga, a complete roadmap for higher living.

So if you’re looking for yoga for beginners, start here: not with poses, but with presence. With focus. With a desire to know your true self.

In a world that confuses more for better, clarity is magic. Patanjali knew that a scattered mind can’t manifest a focused dream. Whether it’s lasting love or soulful wealth, your desire needs direction—not drama.

Try this: Take 3 deep breaths. Put one hand on your heart. Ask, What do I truly want? Write it down. No editing.

 

2. Do the Work, Then Let It Go

Rooted in the Bhagavad Gita

“You have the right to action, but not to the fruits of action.”

Desire isn’t the problem—attachment is.

When we grip too tightly (to outcomes, to timelines, to people), we block the flow. Krishna's wisdom reminds us: show up, do your bit, then release it. The magic happens in the letting go.

Mantra: I plant the seed. The rest is grace.

3. Love Isn’t Control—It’s Care

Straight from the heart of Christ

“Love one another as I have loved you.”

Real love doesn’t compete or cling. It uplifts. It liberates. It gives because it overflows—not because it’s afraid to lose.

Same with money. When we hoard it out of fear, we block its nature—to move, to circulate.

Try this: Text someone just to say something kind. Give freely. No agenda.

4. Your Inner World Shapes Your Outer One

Echoed in the Upanishads

“You are what your deep, driving desire is.”

You don’t attract what you want. You attract what you are.

So, shift from lack to love, from panic to peace—and watch what finds you. Your mindset isn’t a minor detail; it’s the blueprint of your reality.

Soul prompt: Each morning, look in the mirror and say: “I am rooted. I am ready. I am radiant.”

5. Joy is Your Superpower

Taught by Paramhansa Yogananda 🙏

“Joy is the proof of God’s presence.”

When you’re lit from within, everything aligns. Love finds you. Wealth flows easier. Life stops feeling like a struggle and starts feeling like a dance.

Not because you got everything—but because you remembered you already are everything.

Medicine: Dance in your kitchen. Smile at strangers. Light a candle. Say thank you.

Final Note

The world says chase. The sages say become.

The Big Five didn’t teach us to perform. They taught us to remember—to align with something ancient and true.

And when you live from that space? Love and wealth stop being goals... and become your natural state.
