YIDL - the perfect system

Yoga in Daily Life is a complete system, not merely physical exercise. We care for our world, environment, and humanity's future, and we are responsible. Do not let practice be influenced by selfish critics. Cultural and religious differences have caused suffering. We are civilized and can reach Mars, yet we still struggle for happiness. Happiness and love are universal rights, which this system addresses. Thousands work for this globally; millions practice and benefit. It is like a flowing river from which all can drink.

"Everyone has a right to them, and Yoga in Daily Life has touched upon that point."

"It is like a river; it is flowing, and anyone can drink its water."

Yoga in Daily Life is a system which is complete—pūrṇa. We are not merely Haṭha Yogīs. We are not focused only on physical exercise and breath exercise. You and I, we care about our world. We care about our environment, and we care about the future of humanity. We care about the future of this planet, and we are responsible. We should not let our sādhanā be influenced by some selfish and negative critics. Because there are, there will be, and there always have been differences—cultural, traditional, religious differences in the world. And through that, humanity has suffered. Now we are civilized; humans are now able to go to Mars. And still, we suffer to be happy. Happiness, love, contentment—these are universal principles. Everyone has a right to them, and Yoga in Daily Life has touched upon that point. Around the world, thousands of people are working day and night for this. Millions are practicing, and many are receiving the benefit. So it is like a river; it is flowing, and anyone can drink its water. Everyone takes benefit from that river—whether humans, animals, birds, or vegetation.
