Yoga, Or Creating The Link With God?
... any available page, so can the yogi perform a query or search in his mind while in samahdi and the answer will come to him, whatever the question or its subject.
The best comparison I could make, ant it is spectacular, that I do admit, is that the yogi in samahdi logs on to and creates a direct link with God. Does this make the yogi omniscient and omnipotent? I will speculate that while in samahdi, yes, the yogi is exactly that. Being that the yogi is aware of God and God is aware of the yogi, both are in unison and both are, at that moment, only one.
So, in conclusion, yogis are rooting for unity or a direct conscious link to creation, or God, for lack of a better descriptive of creation, without yoga being a religion. Yoga only prepares and trains the individual to create the link so he can log on to creation and know for himself what truth is, what reality actually is, without the limitations that were built by the mind or emotions.
Once this is understood, it is easy to see why so many practice yoga. Our teachers and philosophy do not provide us with answers, they only provide postulates. Some of these do sometimes truly stimulate logic and imagination, but none offer proof. The yogi wants proof of creation and so he accepts the extreme discipline that is required to prepare himself to create the conditions that will allow him to obtain it.

...ops to find the best alignment for our bodies. Yoga teachers need to encourage all of their students to practice more often and accept some limitations that come with each body.
Yoga teachers should be careful not to discourage those students who have limited range of motion. Again, props can be used by any Yoga practitioners, and with the careful guidance of a compassionate Yoga teacher, progress is made.
One last note on this point: No two bodies are alike, so lets be more understanding of ourselves and those around us. This applies to Yoga and life.
