YOGA SCIENCE
IT IS COMMON FOR MOST OF US TO APPEAR OUT FOR FULFILLMENT. WE STAY IN A WORLD THE PLACE WE ARE CONDITIONED TO BELIEVE THAT EXTERIOR ADVANTAGES PROVIDE WHAT WE NEED. AGAIN AND AGAIN, OUR EXPERIENCES EXHIBIT THAT NOTHING EXTERIOR CAN FULFILL THE DEEP WISH FOR “SOMETHING MORE”. HOWEVER, MOST OF THE TIME, WE CONSTANTLY STRIVE TO DO THINGS THAT APPEAR PAST OUR LIMITS. WE ARE CAUGHT UP IN DOING EXTRA THAN SIMPLY AWARENESS. IT IS DIFFICULT FOR US TO PICTURE THE STATE OF ENTIRE TRANQUILITY AND THE IMAGES, THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS THAT CEASE DANCING IN REGULAR MOTION. YET IT IS VIA SUCH SILENCE THAT WE CANNOT REAP HAPPINESS AND UNDERSTANDING.
THE BIBLE SAYS: "BE NEVERTHELESS AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD." THESE FEW WORDS COMPRISE THE KEYS TO YOGA SCIENCE. THIS HISTORICAL NON SECULAR SCIENCE PROVIDES A DIRECT CAPABILITY OF STOPPING THE NATURAL TURMOIL OF IDEAS AND THE RESTLESSNESS OF THE BODY
WE COMPREHEND WHAT WE TRULY ARE.
USUALLY OUR ATTENTION AND ENERGY ARE DIRECTED TO THE MATTERS OF THIS WORLD WHICH WE PICK OUT VIA THE RESTRICTED EQUIPMENT OF OUR 5 SENSES. BECAUSE HUMAN BEINGS HAVE TO RELY ON PARTIAL AND OFTEN MISLEADING DATA FURNISHED VIA PHYSICAL SENSES, WE SHOULD ANALYZE TO FAUCET DEEPER AND MORE UNCONSCIOUS FOCUS TO REMEDY LIFE'S RIDDLES - WHO AM I? WHY AM I HERE? HOW CAN I UNDERSTAND THE TRUTH?
YOGA IS A SIMPLE TECHNIQUE OF REVERSING THE NORMAL OUTWARD FLOAT OF POWER AND AWARENESS SO THAT THE THINKING BECOMES A DYNAMIC MIDDLE OF DIRECT CONCEPTION, WHICH DOES NOW NOT MATTER ON THE WRONG SENSES BUT IS ABLE TO JOURNEY THE TRUTH
BY PRACTISING STEP-BY-STEP PRACTICES OF YOGA THAT TAKE NOTHING FROM EMOTIONAL MOTIVES OR BLIND FAITH, WE COMPREHEND OUR ONENESS WITH LIMITLESS INTELLIGENCE, STRENGTH, AND HAPPINESS, WHICH GIVES LIFE TO ALL, AND IS OUR VERY OWN ESSENCE TO OURSELVES.
DUE TO HUMANS' RESTRICTED INFORMATION OF THE FORCES THAT FORCE THE UNIVERSE, MANY OF THE ADVANCED METHODS OF YOGA HAVE NO LONGER BEEN UNDERSTOOD OR PRACTICED IN THE ULTIMATE CENTURIES. BUT NOWADAYS SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY IS HASTILY CHANGING THE WAY WE VIEW OURSELVES AND THE WORLD. THE COMMON THOUGHT OF LIFE HAS DISAPPEARED FROM THE DISCOVERY THAT COUNT AND ELECTRICITY ARE TRULY THE SAME THING: ALL THE PRESENT OBJECTS CAN BE REDUCED TO A PATTERN OR STRUCTURE OF STRENGTH THAT INTERACTS AND INTERCONNECTS WITH OTHER FORMS. SOME OF TRENDY MOST WELL-KNOWN PHYSICISTS GO ONE STEP FURTHER AND PICK OUT CONSCIOUSNESS AS THE BASIS FOR ALL. MODERN SCIENCE CONFIRMS THE HISTORIC IDEAS OF YOGA WHICH DECLARE THAT TEAM SPIRIT EXTENDS INTO THE UNIVERSE.
THE PHRASE YOGA POTENTIAL "UNITY": THE CHARACTER ATTENTION OR SPIRIT WITH THE REGULAR FOCUS OR SOUL. ALTHOUGH MANY PEOPLE REGARD YOGA AS SIMPLY BODILY WORKOUT ROUTINES - ASANAS OR POSTURES THAT HAVE RECEIVED SUBSTANTIAL REPUTATION IN CURRENT A LONG TIME - THESE ARE WITHOUT A DOUBT THE MOST SUPERFICIAL FACTORS OF THIS PROFOUND SCIENCE THAT REVEALS THE ENDLESS PROBABILITIES OF THE HUMAN THOUGHT AND SPIRIT.
THERE ARE QUITE A NUMBER PATHS OF YOGA THAT LEAD TO THIS GOAL, EACH WITH A SEPARATE BRANCH OF A HOLISTIC SYSTEM:
HATHA YOGA - PHYSICAL GOALS OR ASANAS ARE TO PURIFY THE BODY, PROVIDE ATTENTION AND MANIPULATE OVER ITS INNER STIPULATIONS AND MAKE IT PERFECT FOR MEDITATION.
KARMA YOGA - SELFLESS CARRIER TO OTHERS AS SECTION OF ONE'S FIRST-RATE SELF, WITH NO RELATION TO THE RESULTS; THE MANIFESTATION OF ALL DEEDS WORKS WITH THE COGNIZANCE OF GOD.
MANTRA YOGA - THE CENTRALITY OF RECOGNITION THROUGH CHANTING, OR THE REPETITION OF CERTAIN USUAL ROOT-WORD SOUNDS THAT REPRESENT A UNIQUE FACTOR OF THE SOUL.
DEVOTIONAL YOGA - ALL DEVOTION TO SURRENDER, THEREBY IN SEARCH OF TO SEE AND LOVE GOD IN ALL HIS CREATION, HENCE MAINTAINING REGULAR WORSHIP.
JNANA (GUYANA) YOGA - THE PATH OF WISDOM, EMPHASIZES THE SOFTWARE OF DISCERNMENT TO OBTAIN RELIGIOUS LIBERATION.
RAJA YOGA - THE ROYAL OR GREATER PATH OF YOGA, WHICH WAS IMMORTALIZED BY BHAGAVAN KRISHNA IN THE BHAGAVAD GITA AND FORMALIZED IN THE SECOND CENTURY. INDIAN SAGE PATANJALI, WHICH COMBINES THE ESSENCE OF ALL DIFFERENT PATHS.
PARAMAHAMSA YOGANANDA'S "GOD SPEAKS TO ARJUNA: BHAGAVAD GITA" BALANCES AND UNIFIES THESE YOGA PROCEDURES AT THE HEART OF THE RAJA YOGA SYSTEM, WHICH ARE PRECISE, SCIENTIFIC STRATEGIES OF MEDITATION, RIGHT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. EFFORT, THE DIRECT INTENTION OF THE FINAL AIM - THE CONSCIOUS SOLIDARITY WITH THE NECESSARY PLEASURE.
A RAPID AND ADVANTAGEOUS STRATEGY TO THE INTENTION OF YOGA ELECTRICITY DIRECTLY ON STRENGTH AND CONSCIOUSNESS
