Yoga (Your Optimal General Activity)

Today is International Yoga Day 21 June 2018 and the following paean to Yoga is more relevant than ever:

Yogic Logic:

It is not debilitating and draining
Yoga is fortifying and fulfilling.
It is not tearing down others defences
Yoga is about enhancing your senses.

It is not overwhelming your opponents
Yoga is overcoming your impediments.
It is not about material possession
Yoga is about spiritual ascension.

It is not winning a frantic race
Yoga is attaining a state of grace.
It is not about a world that has to be won
Yoga is about a Universe that is One.

Practicing Yoga will remove senseless aggression
and replace it with sentient comprehension.

We could all do with much less aggression
and much more comprehension.
