A person who has no desire for sensory pleasure, no attachment to behavioral outcomes, and abandons all personal motives, achieves the perfection of yoga..
Yoga is the process of controlling the variability of one’s mind..
I wish you all the best this year.
Yoga is a term originating from ancient Indian culture, derived from the root word “yuj”. Yoga means “connection” or “union”, and the English word “Yoke” has the same origin as Yoga Yoga, meaning “yoke”. It refers to two cows being yoked together by agricultural tools to cultivate land, meaning to control the cows. This can also vividly compare the meaning of yoga. Later extended to mean “unity”, “normalization”, especially “methods of expanding spirituality” and so on. In other words, yoga refers to achieving a state of harmonious unity between brain activity, body, psychology, and soul through practice..
The ancient Indians believed more in the unity of humans with nature, and they adhered to different yoga practices that integrated into daily life: morality, selfless actions, stable minds, religious responsibilities, selflessness, meditation, and the nature and creation of the universe. Modern people refer to yoga as a series of self-cultivation and mental health methods. Therefore, yoga includes techniques such as adjusting body positions, breathing, and meditation to achieve the unity of mind and body. It is not only a form of exercise, but also an ancient philosophy and modern way of life..
In this issue, let’s first have a brief understanding of the mainstream classical yoga school..
Traditional Indian yoga has formed different schools of thought during its development. The most representative schools of classical yoga include Yoga Yoga, Yoga Yoga Yoga, Yoga Yoga Yoga, Yoga Yoga Yoga, and Hatha Yoga. In addition, there are magical and niche Crown Yoga and Dream Yoga (which will not be introduced in this issue)..
“Ye” refers to behavior, as well as the automatic memory and inertia force brought about by behavior. This inertial force is called “karmic force”. Does it sound familiar? It seems that Buddhism also has this saying. In the 4th to 5th century AD, the Buddhist brothers Asanga and Vasubandhu combined their own karmic theories, Brahmanism, and the Yoga Sutra to establish the Yogacara School, a vast Buddhist school. The representative works of this school are the Yogacara School and the Thirty Treatises on Consciousness. In 627 AD, after completing his studies and returning to his home country, Master Xuanzang referred to the “Yoga Practice School” that analyzed karmic knowledge as the “Yogacara School”. From the origins of karmic yoga and Buddhism, it can be seen that karmic yoga believes in “karma and retribution.”. But unlike the commonly heard educational rhetoric of cultivating good karma, various schools of philosophy in India hold the view that karma is not good as long as it is. Evil karma is certainly not good and needs to be eliminated, but good karma is also a “gentle shackle”. How to understand it? For example, if you save someone’s life and they insist on repaying you, you will have to come back to the world and have someone repay you with good karma. If you accidentally plant good karma in another life, karma will repay you.
