Everything is yoga
The oneness of all existence is the core truth; yoga is the means to realize this.
The same soul dwells in all creatures, from humans to ants. The body is needed but is not the self. The divine created 8.4 million life forms. A drop from the ocean is ocean; falling back, it becomes the whole. Do not boast of being human. Liberation’s door is one for every being—ant or elephant. That door leads beyond temporary heavens and hells. Shiva, without father or mother, gave the eternal dharma. Humans make religions, yet there is only one God. Knowing oneness, one ceases to kill. Yoga comes from Shiva, with 84 asanas. Now, many make it just pleasant exercise. The living guru is not the physical form but the inner essence. The guru-lineage flows from the ever-present Saptaṛṣis. True yoga is controlling space and consciousness, manifesting Shiva. Ultimately, every action—cooking, cleaning—is yoga.
"Even an ant will go through that door, the same one door."
"Yoga simply means what we are doing. That is it."
