The Essence of Yoga and the Soul's Journey
Yoga is the science of humanity and the soul. It is a universal path, not confined to the body. All beings possess an Ātmā, a living essence that unites us when we leave the physical form. True listening to this inner soul reveals the way. Yoga is celebrated worldwide, yet it is not an exclusive practice; focusing solely on one name or form creates negativity. The essence is unity, illustrated by a drop returning to the ocean, becoming one with the whole. The practice leads to health and clarity, preparing the soul to merge with the supreme. Ultimately, yoga is about living healthily and happily, performing good actions while recognizing the oneness within all diversity.
"Yoga is the science of the people."
"Everything, all is one in all and all in one."
