Yoga is endless
Yoga is an endless path of connection and expansion beyond all limits.
Yoga is not merely exercises. Each breath and every cell in the body is a living yoga, a universe in itself. The physical body contains all elements—earth, fire, water, air, and space—mirroring the cosmos. This constant movement is yoga. Therefore, yoga is endless, ever-expanding, with no completion. This expansion and contraction is Śiva, present in all beings, beyond religion or nation. The spiritual journey is like ocean waves seeking to expand endlessly but being pulled back by the shore, or like water evaporating only to fall again as rain. This returning force is attachment, a binding rope that prevents liberation. Practice is essential to go within. Chakras exist throughout the body and universe, but seeking powers is not their purpose. The true guru is not merely physical but is the inner guide, the ātmā. The cosmic principles of Śiva, Viṣṇu, and Brahmā change cyclically. The final door is to sit, let the ātmā be, and follow the breath without force. Inhaling and exhaling is the path; the prāṇa knows all. Meditate with awareness of the breath and the guru within.
"Each and every breath in our body is a yoga."
"Yoga means connecting."
