Swami Venkatesananda: 2 Marzo La parola Yoga significa armonia, unione, integrazione; vuol dire ordine ed equilibrio interiore, una completa armonia nella totalità dell’essere.
Per avere un’idea di quest’armonia, pensiamo a quella che esiste tra le miliardi di cellule nel corpo, alla loro unità totale, continua, implicita, indiscussa: questo ci dà un’idea dello stato di Yoga. Quando tutte le azioni che sono svolte da questo corpo, mente, intelletto ed ego sorgono dall’energia cosmica, dall’intelligenza universale, il risultato è Yoga.
Se una persona è completamente altruista, non è neanche consapevole di esserlo; se sei senza ego, quell’ego non sa neanche di non esserci. L’azione non volitiva avviene quando tutte le azioni sorgono spontaneamente dall’essere cosmico.
Abbiamo un corpo, una mente, un intelletto; se osserviamo noi stessi, non è difficile renderci conto che non c’è armonia tra questi tre. Pensare, sentire e volere sembrano correre in direzioni diverse.
Integrateli e vedrete realizzarsi lo Yoga.

Yoga is Armony
Yoga means harmony, union, integration. There must be an inner harmony, a total hamony within the total being. The oneness, the harmony that exists amongst the billions of cells in the body, the total continuous, unquestioning, undoubted, supra-national unity - that is what we are looking for. When all actions that are performed by this body, mind, intellect and ego spring from the cosmic being, the cosmic intelligence, the result is yoga.
If you are totally unselfish, you are not even aware that you are unselfish. If you are egoless, the ego is not even aware that it is egoless. Non-volitional activity is when all actions spontaneously spring from this cosmic beîng.
We have a body, a mind, an intellect. If we watch ourselves it is not difficult to realise that there is no harmony between the three. Thinking, feeling and willing; they seem to run in different directions.
Integrate them and you have yoga in action.
