VALUE OF YOGA

Yoga is a science of life to develop the sixth sense to its fullness and to enable and equip man to enjoy peaceful and blissful life. It is essentially an art of understanding all about the soul, which is only the life force and realizing its relationship with the body, the society, the world and the Universe, maintaining its harmony and finally getting it merged with the Universal soul. In other words, Yoga is a systematic psychic practice to improve awareness, to develop will power and to realize the Self to metamorphose the character so that it can be in tune with the Self and the society and to put an end to the birth cycle by merging with the Almighty. Yoga is a complete process of perfection of man by developing his personality so that he may reach his ultimate goal, thereby fulfilling the purpose of his birth.

In the evolutionary process of Nature, man is an unique living being in that he alone is gifted with the sixth sense. The sixth sense is a higher level of mind which is able to understand its own existence and functions. It is a divine meter measuring all functions of the Universe and understanding oneness among multiplicity and unity in diversity.

  The five senses work with the perceptions. ‘Perception’ means the three principles of combined action Cognition, Experience and Discrimination. The sixth sense is of a higher level for, in addition to the sensual perception, it has the potentiality to realize the Self, that is, to realize the Consciousness itself.

  In the course of the development of the sixth sense, man comes to feel that the embodiment of the soul and the living process are, in the ultimate analysis, painful and miserable experiences, with ever increasing problems. When he understands the Law of Nature and the origin, development and fluctuations of pain and pleasure sensations, the urge rises in him to seek liberation from the birth cycle. But that is easier thought than don, because a variety of factors keep man tied down to the Earth. Having felt the need for liberation, he has to adopt and undergo a well planned and systematic practice in his way of living in order to reach his goal. In the first place, he must ascertain the causes for the embodiment of the soul and then proceed to counter and clear them by a proper method with perseverance.
