Recently a friend asked to view this blog. As I was preparing to send the link over, it suddenly struck me that most of the posts are full of Sanskrit terms that probably make this blog a challenge to access and appreciate for those who do not have any familiarity with the Sanskrit language and the terminology used in the texts that are referred to. This got me to reflect that while many of these references enrich the blog for those who are familiar with the context, it also detracts from the underlying simplicity of the message.
The simplicity of the message of Yoga does not require a deep understanding of Sanskrit or the rich allusions to various scriptural texts, although one may in time come to appreciate and enjoy those as well.
The message of Yoga is simply this: Everyone wants to
be blissful and everyone would like to exist eternally in this bliss.
Yoga is simply to rest in that stillness
where one simply Is, devoid of thought. In that stillness one is aware
of one's true nature that is Pure Consciousness. It is that cloth from which the
variety of the world garment is formed. Only peace is productive of this true
Bliss, which is one's nature.
No wrongs need to be righted. But accepting the wisdom and power of the Lord (which in Yoga is simply the pure form of this Consciousness that is devoid of the taints of action) opens one up to
receiving the truly right things that are productive of the highest
Bliss both internally and externally.
