What is YOGA If you look closely at life on the one hand and yoga on the other, we realize that all life is, consciously or subconsciously, yoga. With this term, in fact, mean a methodical effort of self-perfection, through the manifestation of latent potentialities of the human being and the reunion with the universal and transcendent Existence, we see partially expressed in man and in the Cosmos. If we push the look beyond appearances, the whole of life is a huge yoga of Nature, is Nature that seeks to achieve its perfection, letting more and more of their potential secret to blend in the same divine Reata. With the man, who is the manifestation of thinking, it has for the first time on this Earth got tools conscious and active, capable of achieving faster and more powerfully this high destiny. Yoga, as he said the Swami Vivekananda, can be considered as the means to achieve this evolution in one lifetime or in a few years, if not a few months of one life. The different systems of yoga therefore have no other task that you select, or accelerate what the great Mother already accomplished in his immense effort upward on a large scale, but without order, and a profusion of materials and energy through an infinite variety combinations. Only this way of understanding yoga can provide the basis of a synthesis of the rational and healthy methods of yoga. Only thus it ceases to appear to us as something mystical and abnormal with no relation to the ordinary processes Cosmic Energy and the reasons for this Energy aims to achieve with its double movement grandiose subjective and objective, revealing himself as a strong enhancement and exceptional powers of cosmic energy that has already manifested or that is gradually organizing its operations in the less refined, more general. Among methods of yoga and the usual psychological functions of man, the ratio is roughly the same that exists between the scientific manipulation of natural forces, such as electricity or steam, and their operation. The methods are based on knowledge, verified and confirmed by exact experiences, analysis and practical results from repeated (...). However, the true utility of yoga and its ultimate purpose can not be achieved when yoga, conscious man, unconscious in Nature, coincides with life itself, so that we can still say, in a perfect way and bright , looking along the path and the fulfillment: "All life is yoga." Each yoga is, by its nature, a new birth, is a birth out of ordinary life, material life mentalized in a higher spiritual consciousness, a larger and more divine existence. No method of yoga can begin and be followed successfully without a mighty awakening to the need to more fully spiritual existence. The soul who feels the call to this great and profound palingenesis can come by various routes to the starting point. It may happen that there will, following the natural development that the door unconsciously toward awakening; may achievable through a religion or philosophy can approach it through a gradual enlightenment, or the energy needed to get there a contact or an unexpected emotion, can be induced by the pressure of external events, or from an inner necessity, a single word that breaks the seals of the mind, as much thought, far from the example of someone who has already walked the same path or influence and daily contact. For each one is modeled on the nature and circumstances of a particular call. But, in any way happen, the event should be followed by a decision of the mind and will and therefore, a true and complete consecration of themselves. The acceptance of a new idea-spiritual force, an orientation of being upwards of an enlightenment of a change of course that aspire intensely the heart and the will, is the decisive act that contains results in germ all that yoga will end later to produce. The simple idea, or pure intellectual pursuit of higher purpose, for how intense it can be made an impression in the mind, it remains ineffective if it is not taken from the heart becoming his only desire, and the will as the only true end. The truth of the Spirit must not only be thought, but lived, and to live it, it needs a total orientation of being. Ina palingenesis as that of yoga can not be realized with a will divided, with a low energy or with a thought faltering. He who seeks the Divine must consecrate themselves wholly and solely to God .. But if we want to get the most from opportunity that life offers us, if we are to adequately respond to the call received, not only advancing a few steps, but reaching the goal glimpsed, it is essential the gift full of themselves. The secret of success in yoga lies in not consider it as one of the goals to pursue in life, but as life itself.
