Yoga

Yoga:

Yoga has become extremely famous. Whole population of earth is looking at ‘yoga’ as good remedy for distress and afflictions. But meaning of yoga varies so widely for everyone that , it has become necessary to discuss it here; at least once.

Word yoga had been mentioned in many ancient books. Lord Krishna mentioned it in Geeta. Yoga consists of three parts: Karmayoga, Bhaktiyoga and Dnyanyoga.

Karmayog: means performing your duty with full devotion, without expecting desirable outcome (fruit!).

Now, when we take part in any activity, it never happens that we do it just for the sake of fulfilling our duty. Always, there is some desire behind any work. Any activity, for example, education-business-job, everything has some motive. That motive, that very desire becomes the problem . Because, one eye focuses on reward and only one eye pays attention to duty. Time an individual pays 100% of his concentration on duty without expecting anything, Karmayog happens.

Bhaktiyog:

Deep belief , respect, trust in your duty, activity , work can be called as bhaktiyog.  Without belief, passion, strong emotion that work loses its quality. It becomes very dull. It is suggested that you should pay complete attention to undertaken work. Never get distracted by anything, then only it can be called as bhaktiyog.

Dnyanyog:

 Collecting complete knowledge, utilizing it for performance of your duties is dnyanyog. Knowledge is most important factor to attain yog. One should have 100% knowledge of his duty and should perform it accordingly, then it can be called as dnyanyog.

Presence of all the three, above mentioned yogas, while performing a single activity can be a step towards ‘yoga’. When you are sure that you have fulfilled all the three conditions, then you can call your work an act of yoga. Doer can judge his own activity, rather than asking anyone else. Philosophy of yog is so effective that western population seems more interested than its origin- eastern part of world. One who follows path of yoga can attain any level of success. Nothing is impossible for yogi.
