FIRST WORD THAT COMES ON YOUR MIND ABOUT YOGA	Can't Post

Hi

Just close your eyes and think about yoga, definitely there would be several things and several words which comes to your mind. From that tell me the first word which reminded you about yoga. The first appearing word will be somewhat interesting.So kindly tell me the truth.

Namaste!

This word, for me, would be "absorbtion".

The first word that comes to my mind is "astonishing". There is nothing like yoga.

The first word that came to my mind was peace. I remembered the first part of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras "yoga is the stilling of the fluctuations of the mind" - the non-identification with thought is a source of peace to me.

Union I don't know about anyone else but I just love the word Yoga. I love the sound of it and I love saying it. Smile

Remember that the lungs and throat create the sound that creates the echos of it we hear, and commit to mind for purposes of communication. So thought is gross, has a form like the meeting of echos, a sound a huge collection of such echos, and a word a compound of thought and sound .. each more gross than the previous. When the body is properly at rest and the mind is properly still there is no thought, no word, and consciousness of that.
warm regards
