Sanskrit word of the Day is YOGA
Tags: Life In General
Yoga means to be completely at peace within yourself.
The word Yoga describes the perfected state of being fully awakened and connected with your true self.
Since we always actually are connected with our true self, then the only real 'journey' of yoga is to practise balancing and strengthening our body's energy and clarifying and focusing our minds so that we can become aware of this reality that already exists!
I often say that "Yoga" means "You" when you are truly established in awareness of your inner, elemental self. This true self is your real life essence, your pure consciousness, your living creativity, without which you would not be you at all.
Its only because we forget and get lost in our imagination of who we are that we need to follow some path back to our own life-spring, where all our delight and love is waiting for us.
(I didn't write this, I am merely repeating it from Padma.)
