Yoga is One
A spiritual talk on the principles and practice of yoga in daily life.
"Yoga is the yoga. It’s the yoga, that’s all then. There’s nothing else."
"Yoga in daily life... means we should practice every day. That’s all. And that is for everyone, whether they are Hindus, Muslims, Christians, or anybody."
The speaker addresses a group, holding up the system's foundational book. He emphasizes that true yoga requires daily practice according to these teachings, not just theoretical knowledge. He discusses the importance of ethical living, notably vegetarianism, criticizes the dilution of yoga by other systems, and urges a return to disciplined, foundational practice. The talk meanders through topics including dietary rules, the global spread of yoga, and personal anecdotes.
