FROM WITHIN CHANGES ONE’S LIFE
“Truth is as old as time and as life itself; yet it is ever new. The moment we make it our own it becomes new for us. We may read a truth again and again, without its seeming to hold anything for us personally. We wonder why we are not getting something out of it. The reason is that we have not yet drawn that truth from within ourselves. Truth cannot be grafted onto us from without. It must be brought out from within, or it will ever remain unreal to us. At some time we all have had the experience, while meditating or being otherwise spiritually attuned, of instantly understanding some truth we had previously read without recognition. What an exhilarating feeling it is! Suddenly we have brought forth that truth from within ourselves and beheld it clearly for the first time.”
Sri Daya Mataji
From her book “Only Love”
To know why Yoga one must first understand what Yoga is.
In short the word Yoga means to connect. In the context of this program connecting ourselves to our higher power. Yoga is more than physical exercises, in fact most of the teachings of yoga pertain to the mind and spirit.
It is a comprehensive system of living which aids in the attaining direct experience of with your creator. This is done by calming and purifying the body and mind so that your innate divinity can reveal itself to you.
However, just as in the 12 steps, it doesn’t not require you to name or chose any specific idea of God. It invites you to follow a process that eventually brings forth your version of your higher power to you from within. If you do have a very well defined concept of God then Yoga offers a way to become ever more connected to what you already have. The ultimate goal is to bring all aspects of ones being in line with a desire to know God as you understand it.
The 11th step is about developing conscious contact and that is exactly what Yoga cultivates.
Yoga is not the only solution, but thousands of years of practice has shown that it works, and for those truly interested in advancing down the spiritual path quickly Yoga offers a solution.
