The Yoga of Patanjali

156 Lessons on The Yoga of PatanjaliThe concept of liberation is bound to be individual andpersonal and it is not required by a Yogi. If sometimes he usesit, it means the liberation from self - conditioning, the conditioningof the not - self. Liberation does not exist as a truth, but whatis true is the triangle of the law, which includes work, remunerationand comfort to keep on the work going on an impersonallevel. Work on the impersonal level is called sacrifice (Yajna)which, by no means, represents the victimisation of the beast.The beast - existence of man should be sublimated into theexistence of the soul - light. The Bhagavadgita speaks of Yajanaand explains how nature is working impersonally. The Yogi whowants to lead a Yoga-life is expected to observe the work ofthe seasons, the cycle of the water, the coming down of therain, the germination of the seed and the working of the Lordas the seed-nature in everything to sprout again and again, tokeep the law established.This is all about the Science of the Socio-economicTriangle,which I propose to make it a separate book. This is theculmination of Yogic living and this is the goal of the Yoga practice.Finally, Yoga finds its realisation in the individuals, realising theexistence of the synthesis of the Samadhi and Samyamaillumination, in the process of the administration of a state, acountry or a nation. This is what the Bhagavadgita leads us to,in the name of “The State-cult of Yoga” (Rajavidya or Rajayoga)and it had been the secret of success among the many rulers ofthe hoary past (Rajaguhyam).I think it is clear for the present.Thank you all for this year.
