You and I are one. There is this oneness alone in reality — but there is some mysterious loss of memory. Anything that helps to bring about the remembering of what has been temporarily forgotten, is called yoga sadhana, yoga abhyasa – the practice of yoga.
Having heard that, I am sure the question is itching in all of us, "What does one do?”. We must be careful here. The danger lies in excessive concern about our doing (and not doing) which may then become a routine performance. As soon as the emphasis is on what I do, it is likely to become a ritual and I tend to see myself as "doer”. We feel that unless we do something, we cannot get from here, our present position, to there, that state of yoga.
Study of the scriptures as a bee collects nectar from the different flowers and makes sweet honey.
But beware — do not manufacture poison. The bee does not do it.
