The aim of Yoga is not always easy to understand. Many entertain a wrong notion of it and misunderstand it. It is accepted to be the achievement of perfection. Yoga is a process not merely of reaching the highest, but also of bringing a sense of perfection even in small things such as one s office work or profession. Perfection is Yoga in any field of life, or in any vocation.
Yoga makes one a perfect person.
But it is only a few who want perfection in anything. While many would like to fulfil their desires, perfection is something they cannot understand. The attempt to fulfil desires is the opposite of perfection. Perfection is balance and harmony in life, while desire is an imbalance of thought. Yoga is a system of striking a balance, firstly with persons and things outside, and later in one s own being, in the physical, vital, psychological, intellectual and spiritual levels.
