Despite our own true nature which is Blissful, people usually become far too distracted with their own mind and body and material objects. They lose sight of this fundamental truth. This false identification makes us feel imperfect, limited, sorrowful, and at a loss. Yoga seeks to provide people with a way to cast off this ignorance and become aware of their true divine self. The goal is to free a person from those imperfections and to unite him or her with their supreme universal self. Yoga not only provides techniques for the growth of human beings from their animal level to heights of perfection, it carves out a way of life for them. The yoga way of life is characterized by peace and tranquillity, harmony and health, love and happiness, precision and efficiency.
