You are Infinite
Yoga is the universal science of body, mind, consciousness, and soul, aiming for union with the cosmic reality. Its essence is found in the study of kuṇḍalinī and chakras, which govern spiritual development and human consciousness. This is not theory but a practical path for daily life, based on ancient wisdom like the Vedas, which teach harmony with the universe. Life is eternal consciousness; the body is born and dies. Ignorance creates darkness and suffering, while knowledge brings light and unity. Reality is that which does not change—the eternal, divine consciousness. Self-realization of this is liberation. Yoga is a complete way of life, where every action creates karma, shaping individual destiny. It unites all, whether through prayer, good thoughts, or helping others. The human system contains 72,000 nāḍīs, or energy channels, with three main currents representing mind, intellect, and consciousness. Their purification leads to balance and health. Chakras are energy centers corresponding to elements and states of being, from earthly to divine. Their awakening allows energy to radiate, purifying all aspects of the individual. The ultimate goal is the union of individual consciousness with the cosmic, achieving liberation.
"Where there is ignorance, there is darkness. Where there is darkness, there is suffering."
"Yoga means union. Union of the individual consciousness with the cosmic consciousness."
