If you practice Yoga, you will be far away from Roga
Yoga is the practice that separates you from illness and negative states.
Where there is bhoga, or sense enjoyment and desire, there is roga, or illness. Where there is raga, meaning quarreling, jealousy, dualities, aversion, and attachment, there is also roga. These three—bhoga, raga, and roga—always go together. Yoga stands apart from this triad. By practicing yoga, these three interconnected states will automatically cease. The practice directly counters the roots of suffering and disease.
"Where there is bhoga—desires, sense enjoyment—there is roga."
"Thus, bhoga, raga, and roga—these three go together. But yoga is separate."
