0What is Yoga?
Many people have different misconceptions about Yoga. Some think Yoga gives liberation, removes diseases, or even stops aging. These are illusions.
The Real Definition
Sage Patanjali defines Yoga in one sutra:
“Yogashchitta Vritti Nirodhah”
Meaning – Yoga is the restraint of the modifications of the mind.
Misconceptions vs Truth
Liberation, healing, miracles – these are just mental imaginations.
True Yoga is not about destroying thoughts, but about observing them calmly as a witness.
The Real Experience
When we observe our thoughts without attachment, they naturally dissolve.
This gives freedom from mental restlessness, which is the true freedom.
Conclusion
Yoga is not about physical miracles, but about attaining inner peace through mastery over the mind.
That is the true Yoga.
Key Takeaway
Yoga is the art of witnessing the mind – and through this awareness, real freedom and peace are achieved.
