Yog and Viyog
Yoga is not merely physical exercise; it originates from Śiva, who is formless yet manifests through the five elements. The human body is composed of these elements, yet within resides the Ātmā, the life force present in every cell. Humans often act without awareness, especially in consumption, unlike animals. This lack of control obstructs the spiritual path. The core of spiritual practice is the Vajranāḍī, the spinal channel. When this channel is strong, one is healthy and capable. A yogī must control this Vajranāḍī. True yoga involves āsana, prāṇāyāma, and meditation, but one must ultimately go beyond these practices. Control is essential in all actions.
"The bhajan, yogī jana kī yog nidrā bhagāne bahād badyā."
"Yoga, vyogaḥ. Yoga and vyoga. Vyoga is also not good in this."
