When you think YOU are doing it you get tired.  When you think DIVINE ENERGY is flowing through you there is no stress and strain.  Does fire feel stress and strain in burning?

The yogic theory explains that the sun means your soul and the moon means your mind.  As the moon receives the light of the sun and radiates it, similarly, the mind receives light from the soul and is energized.  If mind doesn’t receive energy from the soul, it will never be energized or be in its proper place.  So, we have to understand the relationship of the mind with the soul.

Ahimsaa will promote peace, happiness, intelligence and will evolve our consciousness.  After many lives of fear and violence, it washes away the evil and negative instincts of the mind which are solely responsible for all types of human unhappiness, sickness and crimes.

Doesn't peace include power, bliss, knowledge, and liberation? Dear Soul, why not look for that peace which can bring you all the four? No doubt peace is incarnate in a solitary forest. Where there's no-one to speak to one is compelled to embrace peace. But if noise and unrest abound and yet the mind is calm and peaceful, this is known as the "Peace Real."

 One saint wrote: “Welcome all the unhappiness because it reminds us all the time of the nearness and existence of God. We know that we have no help except God. If I have luxury but it is taking me away from the Lord, I do not want that kind of luxury.”

The goal of everyone is the same but we name it differently.  We are heading towards one goal of peace, happiness or knowledge.  Ancient people set a norm that one must seek four things in life - ayu, vidya, dhanam and yasham or kirti.  These are good guidelines for living. 

Body-based Yoga means aiming at the communion with God through physical discipline.  Yoga is for all.  It starts it's experiments on the grossest from the physical body and it's base.  Through the discipline of the mind it cultures the spiritual personality of man.
