The Essence of Yoga and the Soul's Journey
A spiritual discourse on the essence of yoga and the soul's journey.
"Yoga is the science of humanity. And the yogīs, Śiva, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Maheśvara—all have given this to us so that we may progress on this path."
"Everything, all is one in all and all in one. So, all live, and they don't know, and they have what they know."
An unnamed spiritual teacher delivers a talk on International Yoga Day, explaining yoga as a universal science for all beings, distinct from religion. He discusses the soul (Ātmā), using the metaphor of a water drop returning to the ocean to describe spiritual unity and liberation. The talk covers the global practice of yoga, the journey after death, and the importance of righteous living and good karma.
