PHILOSOPHY of YOGA

"YOGA is the union of the individual self with the universal self.
Yoga is a fine art and seeks to express the artist's abilities to the fullest possible extent. While most artists need an instrument, such as paintbrush or a violin, to express their art, the only instruments a yogi needs are his body and his mind. The ancient sages compared yoga to a fruit tree. From a single seed grow the roots, trunk, branches and leaves. The leaves bring life-giving energy to the entire tree, which then blossoms into flowers and sweet, luscious fruit. Just as the fruit is natural culmination of the tree, yoga, too, transforms darkness into light, ignorance into knowledge, knowledge into wisdom, and wisdom into unalloyed peace and spiritual bliss." (B.K.S.Iyengar)
