I can go on and on how and why it is. But that will not be a minimalistic approach. Enough said.
There’s an old Buddhist saying: ‘Before enlightenment, chopping wood and carrying water; after enlightenment, chopping wood and carrying water,’ but it’s a chopping and carrying from a very different level of consciousness. What a contribution we could make to the world then! And remember that on the way there, as we improve, our joy, love, peace of mind, creativity and quality of expression improve apace.
The word ‘Yoga’ come from the Sanskrit yug, meaning, ‘yoke’ which indicates a joining together, a unity, a harmony, balance. The Physical practices harmonize the endocrine, neurological and immune systems, the meditation pracices harmonize our perceptions, thinking, emotions and behavior, etc.
Ultimately of course, according to teachings of Yoga, the result is harmony and unity of the person’s individual consciousness with the ultimate consciousness.
