We have to have balance
The cosmic balance of Shiva and the path of true yoga.
Yoga reaches beyond body, breath, and concentration to the cosmic self at the time of Shiva. Shiva controls all beings—Rakshasas, followers of Dharma, Swamis—to maintain balance. Without balance, war arises. One hand cannot make a sound; duality brings conflict. Shiva, greatest of the great, restores equilibrium. In the ocean of Kali Yuga, beings are carried unknowingly. All are like thugs, deceitful in coming, going, and standing. Mountains break, destruction comes in an instant. Even the sattvic suffer. Animals—cows, buffaloes, dogs, birds, fish—are killed and eaten. God made humans to protect creatures, not to kill. Love them, protect them, give to them. Those with shakti, bhakti, vairagya, and jnana reach the cosmic self. Others kill and remain bound. True yoga is more than asana and pranayama. This teaching of Yoga in Daily Life spreads worldwide.
"Yoga is not only the physical body, not only concentration, not only the breath; it is beyond all that, reaching to the cosmic self at the time of Śiva."
"God has made humans not for killing any creatures, but for protecting them."
