Do what you can, with what you have, where you are
This famous phrase allegedly by T. Roosevelt could be the point of arrival of any Yoga course, in a sense not only physical, but in a broader way of awareness. I think it is more correct, however, to start in reverse.
Where you are
Today, illness is about no longer being aware of one's own space and totally uprooted from the present moment. The head is always in front of some screen, the body almost forgotten. In a perpetual race towards something that exists only in a domesticated fantasy losing sight of what is around. Everything should start by anchoring to the here and now also using Fight Club style methods as the physical pain is the most effective and extreme weapon to return to the present.
With what you have
Assuming that we succeed in taking the first fundamental step and returning to the present, the second becomes possible. Realize what you have. What you have, no matter in what psychophysical or spatial conditions you live, is always a lot. Every form of unhappiness of a sore living is based on the inability to see what is outside and even more to see what are the infinite possibilities of a free human being or above biological mechanism. This human being is Nietzsche's super human .
Do what you can
Once here it would then be easy peasy. Once you're awake you can do endless things. Of course you do not become immortal, you do not become omniscient but that thing called "boredom" totally disappears. In any situation and in any context it becomes spontaneous and natural to do what is possible. Doing everything possible doesn't necessarily lead to "victory", admitted and not granted the "victory" really exists, or that it gives the desired and imagined results. A human being who takes these three steps, in every infinite present, lives in what is my favorite term to define a full life: eudamonia
In the end, if I had to define Hari-Om, or at least what my idea of teaching is to support someone to take these three steps and at least occasionally reach eudaimonia.
