Human life is riddled with paradoxes. Human life is a field of conflicting opposites that pull him in different directions. Due to this man misses his goal even though something in him aspires for it.
Any effort trying to define the Divine Truth is to limit That which is Infinite. Our limited individual truth expands according to the expansion of our consciousness. Our urge to know and live by the highest Truth opens a new door to the new consciousness.
Our lives seen through the distorting lens of our present state of ego and ignorance is different than when we see it from the soul perspective, from a greater and deeper and higher spiritual vision.
Yoga should be done because we cannot do otherwise. We cannot be satisfied with an ordinary life as life demands some greater satisfaction that is to realize and manifest the Divine.
