• Vyavahar: Healthy interpersonal relationships that enable us to be the best “we” can be, learning to adapt to other people in our life and create a sense of teamwork, enabling the sublimation of the ego into a positive energy that sustains relationships rather than harms them. When we learn to live with gratitude, respect, love, and acceptance, life becomes much better, and we grow as individuals.
