Yoga is the union of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness, achieved through balance. The universe is an endless cosmic body containing a consciousness that desired to multiply, initiated by the sound Oṁ. From this resonance, the five elements were created, forming 8.4 million creatures, including humans distinguished by intellect. The human body contains 72,000 energy channels (nāḍīs) receiving cosmic energy. Three primary channels—Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā—govern emotion, activity, and consciousness, intersecting at energy centers called chakras. Key chakras include Mūlādhāra and Sahasrāra. Kuṇḍalinī is the symbolic serpentine energy whose awakening unites these channels. Consciousness (Śiva) and energy (Śakti) must coordinate. Lower chakras relate to animalistic behaviors when active without heart coordination. The mind coordinates between subconscious impressions and conscious desires; it cannot be controlled, only guided. Physical practices are not yoga itself but methods to create the balance that is yoga. "Yoga means balance, and where there is a balance, there is a harmony, and where there is a harmony, there is a unity, and therefore yoga means literally the union: the union of the individual consciousness with the cosmic consciousness." "The mind cannot be controlled. If you control the mind, then psychic problems will appear. You cannot control the river, you cannot block it, you can guide the river."
