There is sometimes an expectation that the discovery of one's dharma, spiritual purpose or duty, will be glamorous or in some way more significant than life currently is. God is no more present in one place than another.

Body identification causes us to either over-discipline the physical component of our being in search of perfection or to indulge the senses and let the physical drive "have its way." A healthy, balance program of self-care ensues from the spiritual knowledge that reveals the body as the vehicle of the soul.
