"Yoga means knowing and experiencing everything as a part of yourself.Modern science has proved beyond a doubt that everything is one energy.Religions are screaming that god is everywhere.Whether you say god is everywhere or everything is one energy, you are saying the same thing from two different contexts.A scientist has mathematically deduced this reality.He has not experienced it.His realization is intellectual and it does not transform his life.A religious person just believes it.A yogi is one who is unwilling to settle for deductions or belief systems.He wants to experience and know it.In that sense,yoga is a technology of taking a person from his individuality to universality, to knowing and experiencing existence as himself."
"Patanjali, who is considered to be the father or assimilator of yoga,said this very beautifully.When he began the Yoga Sutras,he said,And now,yoga.What he meant was that now you have tried everything-tasted money,power,wealth,love,pleasure and you even did the drugs," "and nothing really worked.It was all fine,but it did not bring you any great sense of fulfillment.When you know this,you are ready for yoga."
---Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev ( excerpt taken from the book 'Midnights with the mystic' by Cheryl Simone)
