Now we will be able to appreciate that Yoga is not a religion. It is not Hinduism. It is not Buddhism. It is not Christian mysticism. It is not anything of that sort.
Yoga is the science of life.
It does not belong to the East or the West. It is not even a prerogative of the human being. It is the great process through which all creation has to pass, right from the lowest electron till the solar system and the whole astronomical universe. The evolution of the cosmos is the greatest Yoga, and our participation in it, consciously, is properly called Yoga. All these things, the resolution of the conflicts and the purpose of our life, imply a kind of adjustment of ourselves with the existing nature of things, and it roots out selfishness totally.
