Yoga is, thus, the control of the mind through its stability -by Yama (self-restraint), Niyama (to hold or fasten), Asana (Yoga posture) process. This succinctly defines Yoga as a way to attain unity and focus.
Patanjali is one of the basic pillars of Indian philosophy. The eternal path, which is eventually dedicated to the truth and based on the Indivisible Totality, remains incomplete without the thought of Maharshi Patanjali. Yogeshwara Shrikrishna is, Himself, the basic pillar of the Sanatana Indian philosophy, Who declared, “योगः कर्मसु कौशलम् -Yogah Karmasu Kaushalam." (The Shrimadbhagavadgita, 2:50).
Yoga is the way to make human life meaningful; it is a means to achieve the purpose of life. What is the purpose of life?
Realizing the truth of the One Indivisible Totality and acknowledging oneself as an integral part of the Universal Unity, one must constantly remain engaged in the welfare of one and all. For this, by continuously indulging in righteous acts, one should become one with the same eternal Indivisible Totality. In the whole of the universe, which is indeed beyond human imagination, there is nothing out of the ambit of the Indivisible Whole or Totality; nothing, movable-immovable or visible-invisible, is separate from It.
The sole aim of life is to remain engaged in righteous acts with an intent of welfare of one and all and, thus, eventually, to remain united with It.
