The True Meaning of Yoga

What is the true meaning of Yoga? Is it an exercise of body and mind? If you go on a quest, you will know this is a myth What it truly is, you will find The whole world is doing Yoga Two billion they say are at it But is it a pity, though the whole world does it What they are doing is nothing but a myth Yoga actually means Union It is realizing that we are the Divine Soul Not the ego, body, and mind Our Mind is a little rascal It jumps from thought to thought Who we are and why we are here This important thing it forgot The purpose of Yoga is Liberation From misery, suffering, and pain To escape and become one with the Lord Rather than being born again and again The whole world is seeking happiness We all want peace of mind If only we practice true Yoga This treasure we will find As long as we are passionate and desire And worldly things we crave We will find that misery and sorrow, Will follow us till our grave But those who live in Yoga They enjoy bliss and peace They unlock the door of Liberation With little Divine keys Anybody can be in Yoga It is connecting with the Lord It is escaping from this alluring world And then becoming one with God Yoga starts with Purification Of Ego, Body and Mind Then there is Illumination And Unification of our Soul with the Divine There are four doors to destination Yoga It not easy for everyone to reach It is living with discipline and contemplation Not just playing on the beach Discrimination is using the intellect To take charge of the mind Deciding what is wrong and right Leaving worldly thoughts behind The Goal of Yoga is Liberation The first way to live is mediation Dhyana Yoga is the name It is about silent contemplation Not just playing a game The second method is action Karma Yoga is what it is called The third Yoga is devotion, It is Bhakti and devout Prayer It is a deep love for the Divine Yearning for God through the year Finally, is the Yoga of wisdom It is Gyana Yoga or education It is spending time in a quest for the Truth Till we find Realization If one wants to live in Yoga These must be the 4 paths of life Not being passionate about success and money And quarreling with your wife A Yogi is always connected Nothing really matters to him God fills his life to the brim A true Yogi lives in surrender He does worry or fear He accepts the Divine will with Joy And laughs with never a tear Yoga is union, it a way of Life A link that survives every bend Till we are liberated and united with God
