annilhilate the mind. Extirpation of thought waves is Yoga. And it is through teaching us to control our mind, our desires, and our reactions to stress, that yoga can fundamentally help us. It is based on the tripod of Life – Body, Mind & Self & the three levels of Being- Doing, Thinking & pure Being.


Mastery of the mind involves 2 aspects;


1) Concentration – The ability to concentrate our attention on any given subject or object


2) Meditation – The ability to quieten our mind at will.


Though the first has been mastered partially by most people, the second is very difficult. It is difficult indeed to lapse into a state of inner peace, let alone at will. As an intellectual, skillful means for quietening the mind, Yoga is unparalleled. A still mind is pure Spirit.


All aspects of the Fourfold Yoga work toward this in some way and if we practice this master Science, we reach closer to our goal. Yoga generates that inner mental peace perpetually, in all our actions, and thereby we achieve physical and mental health. This calmness in action is the secret to attaining the skill , according to Yoga Philosophy. This is known as the strength of Superconscient stillness !


Stillness itself is inertia

Action itself is discord

When stillness and action equalise

Then is the Highest Cosmic Union ( Yoga )


Lo! steadfast a lamp burns sheltered from the wind

Such is the likeness of the Yogi’s mind

Freed from sense storms and burning bright to Heaven

When mind broods placid, soothed with holy wont

When Self contemplates Self and in itself

Hath comfort
