Yoga

Swami Sivananda Saraswati

Yoga is a way of life, not something that is divorced from life. Yoga is not forsaking action, but efficient performance in the right spirit. Yoga is not running away from home and human habitation, but a process of moulding an attitude to home and society with a new understanding. Yoga is not a turning away from life; yoga makes life spiritual. Equanimity is yoga. Serenity is yoga. Skill in action is yoga. Control of the senses and the mind is yoga. Anything by which the best and highest in life can be attained is yoga. Yoga is something that has to be assimilated and put into practice in daily life. Yoga is all-embracing, all-inclusive and universal in its application.
