The Bhagavad Gita mentions, “Yoga is the journey of the self through the self to the self.”
Yoga is a form of mediation that helps a person get in touch with his mind and body. The mind controls the body, thus when a person becomes acquainted with his mind and body, he often finds inner peace. It is a deeply enriching practice, which produces positive results that cover the spectrum – from increased flexibility, to reduced pain, and a heightened sense of well-being.
In the words of the great yogi Ramana Maharshi, "The idea that there is a goal...is wrong. We are the goal; we are always peace. To get rid of the idea that we are not peace is all that is required." Getting in touch with our inner nature allows us to bring awareness, acceptance, and love to the world we live in.
In The Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna explained the meaning of yoga :
1. “Samatvam yoge uchchte” means, similarity is yoga.
2. “Yogah karmasu kaushalam” means, the successful completion of any work is yoga.
One can get inner harmony and peace if he is not tired. The practice of yoga lightens and comforts the body.
The key to mental health and inner peace is to maintain an inner space that is separate from the happenings in the world of form – the level of material gain and loss. If a person is searching to lose weight, or else relieve pain, yoga can help the person feel relief, which leads to a measure of inner peace. Respecting our bodies is key to a yoga practice.
The goal of yoga is to provide a haven whereby the body, mind and soul can find a sense of balance - harmony.
It enhances the competition, expectations and self-judgement skills and allows to stay in the present moment. Yoga plays a crucial role in purification of body, thoughts, which leads our soul to inner harmony and peace. That’s why, in this era of science, people are willing to learn and practice yoga.
Yoga defines itself as a science--that is, as a practical, methodical, and systematic discipline or set of techniques that have the lofty goal of helping human beings to become aware of their deepest nature. The goal of seeking to experience this deepest potential is not part of a religious process, but an experiential science of self-study. Religions seek to define what we should believe, while a practical science such as meditation is based on the concrete experience of those teachers and yogis who have previously used these techniques to experience the deepest Self. Yoga does not contradict or interfere with any religion, and may be practiced by everyone, whether they regard themselves as agnostics or members of a particular faith.
Meditation or Dhyana is the result of continued, unbroken concentration. It is the seventh step in raja yoga. Concentration makes the mind one-pointed, calm, and serene. Meditation then expands the one-pointed mind to the super-conscious state. Meditation is the uninterrupted flow of the mind towards one object or concept. When the mind expands beyond conscious and subconscious levels and assumes this super-conscious flow, then intuitive knowledge dawns. All the methods of yoga prepare us to eventually reach this stage of meditation and thus attain peace, perfection, and tranquility.
In our daily lives, meditation can be very helpful in eliminating many physical and psychological problems. A significant amount of the disease we experience is actually either directly or indirectly the result of conflicts, repression, or emotional distress arising in the conscious or unconscious mind. Meditation helps us to become aware of these conflicts and to resolve them, establishing tranquility and peace. In this way, meditation becomes a powerful resource for facing the challenges of daily life. There are many disease for which medicines are not found yet. But, practicing yoga can cure them. Even though medicines may have side-effects but yoga never has any side effect.
Many persons who worry about aging consider creams, lotions, and other substances to reduce lines and wrinkles but yoga is a natural method that works and eliminates side effects. Yoga can decrease pain, and increase weight-loss, which in turn, helps the mind since the self-esteem and confidence, is restored. When a person feels confidence and the self-gratification exists, self-peace is often around the corner.
Yogasana is the knowledge which helps in development of one physically, mentally, emotionally and socially. If one is dedicated towards practising asanas, then, he can do anywhere, anytime with no excuses.
There is a saying that if one learns the asanas then he can control over his mind, feelings and emotions.
Asanas are helpful in curing diseases and also they sharpen the mind. Many a times doctors ask patients to practice yoga as it helps in curing permanently without any side-effects.
We all know, our saints and sages used to live for long years without getting into any diseases. There were many discoveries done in ancient times without technologies. This all was possible because our sages practiced yogasanas regularly which helped them in thinking of those discoveries and inventions which are beyond our approaches.
Yoga is the path to harmony and peace.
