What Is Yoga?

     What is God? How to remember God? What is worship? Where is the spirit of worshipfulness?

    The karma yogi needs to have an answer to all these questions. Karma Yoga without God is a lamp without light. Bhakti or God-love is an integral part of any yoga, for yoga is the union of the human soul with God.

    God is the reality. God is the unchanging substratum of changing phenomena The goal of life and all religions is God. God is one and infinite. God is within all and, therefore, everyone has his own conception of God.

    The important thing in yoga is to love God. Love God in your own way, as your father, mother, friend, master, child or lover. Divert all your love to God. Worship God in and through the temples, churches, synagogues and mosques and worship God your own home too.

    Work in God, love in God, live in God. This is yoga.
