Yoga is endless
A spiritual discourse on the infinite nature of yoga and the self's journey.
"Yoga is not only what we always think: exercises, prāṇāyāmas, etc. Each and every breath in our body is a yoga."
"Holy Gurujī said, 'If you want to meditate, and if you want to liberate for all, then don't, don't ask for anything.'"
Swami Avatarpuri, invoking the lineage of gurus, explores yoga as the fundamental connection present in every cell and element of the universe. He describes the soul's cyclical journey of expansion and contraction, hindered by attachment, and uses metaphors of ocean waves and government to illustrate cosmic cycles. The guidance culminates in meditation instruction, emphasizing simple breath awareness and focus on the guru within.
