Perhaps, you already recognize what it is Reflect for a moment.
After all, isn't always all know-how 'hanging' somewhere in
some collective consciousness? Often, getting to know is remembering, or recognizing
some thing distantly familiar.
As a cohesive, realistic system, yoga was once developed over
5 thousand years ago. Why did it take this lengthy to turn out to be popular?
Five thousand years! There have been many yogis in the course of history,
however in no way was once the system so substantial as it is today. Is there
some thing about yoga that stunted its boom in the past?
Ancient yogis recognized effective outcomes of this exercise
on one's physical, energetic, and mental constitutions. As a provider to the
world, the rishis of the past sent out a wish into the future (a intellectual
projection of sorts) that every time the planet wishes this historic wisdom, it
would re-surface. And like a seed planted lengthy ago, yoga reputation has
germinated, sprouted, and now grow to be a beautiful bloom with all of its
traditions, styles, and variations. Obviously, the need is right here and now.
The world wants its message. Why? What is so extraordinary about yoga? What did
historic yogis foresee?
They saw Ego. Yes, a massive ego, developing into billions of
faces and invading thousands of cultures. The ego, or the sense of
separateness, is an crucial phase of the mind. It locations us in the notorious
human predicament: making sure our physical and intellectual safety, however
robbing us of the persistent trip of inner peace.
As a shielding mechanism, the ego consistently strengthens
itself thru bodily education of the body, conditioning and education of the
mind, securing a 'comfortable' vicinity in the world socially and financially,
and so on. Basically, the ego constantly appears out for itself, even at the
cost of others.
When dealing with different egos, there may additionally be
conflict. If unregulated, conflict may additionally develop into war. History
has shown how everyday wars have been in 'solving' ego's problems.
As a conscious human being dwelling in present day world, you
already comprehend the harm triggered with the aid of the steady onslaught of
human ego-driven pastime on our treasured planet.
This is the place yoga comes in. But what does yoga have to
do with nature and the ego? Well, everything, really.
What is yoga, anyway? Union. Right? Union of everything:
body, breath, mind, inner self, and every other residing and non-living component
in the complete existence: rocks, plants, animals, different humans, every
thing.
Yoga is a recognition that there's Oneness behind everything
and this Oneness is who you are. This Oneness is inexplicable in phrases or
thoughts, however one feels it anyway, when, all at once but frequently enough,
one peeks beyond the mind's steady chattering.
This journey of Oneness, of yoga, of lasting internal peace
and happiness, is the opposite of Ego, the feel of separateness.
This may seem surprising for some of you, but, as a science
and a sensible system, yoga particularly offers with the mind. It can also
commence with the bodily conditioning of the body - postures and sequences to
reap physical control, but all to get a cope with on the mind. According to yogic
wisdom, to control the idea flawlessly is the most hard undertaking in the
universe.
The physique is lots less difficult to control. Gradually,
the transition is made from the physical to the refined full of life and mental
exercises.
So what about yoga's secret goal?
Imagine what would manifest if giant numbers of humans had an
true trip of yoga. Imagine if human beings ought to preserve ego-less existence
for durations of time long adequate to sense compassion for all different
beings on Earth. As yois, conscious to our internal nature and in union with
our environment, ever mindful of the One essence behind all, we comprehend that
we are inseparable from Mother Earth.
The purpose, or goal, of yoga turns into our purpose in life.
We recognise that it is our inherent responsibility to take care of our planet
and all its creatures, to stay in harmony, as a family, as brothers and
sisters, with all. As yogis, we turn out to be ecology-warriors, messengers of
Peace, and guardians of Mother Nature, and of Life itself. We realize that we
are the caretaker-species; and that is why we have our Genius and the energy
for this grand task. We naturally dedicate our lives to alleviate the suffering
of others, create peace in the world, raise our frequent consciousness, and
awaken others to their genuine nature and the unity between all life.
So this is the seldom-told secret about yoga: its aim is to
convey about alternate in the world - world transformation of consciousness.
This is what has been projected via the remarkable rishis of the previous as a
capability to retailer our valuable Mother Earth and examine to stay in concord
and love.
Why is this a secret? Perhaps, 'hidden' or 'unapparent' may
also be higher words. It is unapparent about yoga that it has such a deep
transformational impact on one's consciousness. Often, yoga comes into one's
existence thru the back-door of the ego. The reasons for beginning a yoga
practice range from getting a yoga-butt to searching for internal peace.
