Yoga in Daily Life teachings commend the development of four cornerstones for one's spiritual life and four pillars for a successful human life.

The four cornerstones for spiritual development are:

• Bhakti – devotion
• Gyana – wisdom
• Vairagya – detachment
• Satsang – keeping spiritual company

Pray to God to bless you with these four gifts, but if it seems a little presumptuous to ask for so much, then pray for only one. The most important is bhakti! Bhakti (devotion to God) gives us divine light and everlasting bliss.

The four pillars for a successful human life are:

• Dharma - fulfilling one's duty in life
• Artha - work
• Karma - action
• Moksha - liberation
