The Union of Yoga
A spiritual discourse on the meaning of yoga as union.
"Yoga means union. It is the union of the individual consciousness with the cosmic consciousness."
"The street of love is so narrow, two cannot walk together. Two have to become one; then you can go together."
The speaker explains yoga as the ultimate union with the divine, using a poetic metaphor of a narrow street of love. He then narrates a parable of a man in a desert who realizes God was carrying him during hardships, not just walking beside him in pleasant times. The talk emphasizes feeling oneness, especially in difficulty, and achieving harmony in all aspects of life.
