Yoga as we know is the perfect union of mind, body and sprit. We in our modern world are happy with our modern thoughts and philosophies which sound simple to our understanding but complexes our life further. For instance we all believe that happiness is the goal of our life. In search of happiness and comfort we most of the time commit little sins that we either partially or completely overlook. When we want to get a work done we remember those lost contacts that can do our work and when the work is done we try to find new contacts. In a word most of our day to day activities are based on the fulfillment of our self-centered desires. Rare are the people who help others without any self motive as rare is a society which gives importance to selflessness, preserving the right and freedom of all, philanthropy and equality. Equality is not possible in the modern day world as we believe in the philosophy of imperial capitalism. We always care for our needs and the needs of those whom we either love or who are beneficent to us. This way we live in a perverted world where we change, modify or break away with relations only for self motive, hence in this world we get trapped into relations that are not appropriate to our soul-growth. We love someone, expresses love to someone, marry someone and be remain happy with someone else, hence we loose purpose of our spiritual existence. Even we talk noble, dignified and generous thoughts in writing or in a speech in order to generate public trust but sometimes it happens like we remain unable to hold our own high thoughts and beliefs. We are constantly influenced by the people and places and their attitude, behavior, culture and words. As we let ourselves get influenced we are at a lose and as we are constantly loose ground we get constantly go through afflictions and modifications of mind, which result into lose of originality, human quality and spirituality. Every lose is like a progress toward insanity, we knowingly or unknowingly are afflicted by some sort of physiological error in connection to the deviation of mind from its original truthfully quality.
Yoga is ancient while we are modern, yoga is pure while we may not be, yoga is a way toward a pure, truthful life while we may understand yoga as a beauty enhancer only, and yoga retains the prana (vital energy) of the body while we think of yoga as only some breathing method of body movements. Yoga demands purity of body and mind in order to experience the self while we perceive that everything that can bring comfort to body and mind is good for soul growth. Yoga has many forms including meditation of mind but it can only give fruitful results when the practitioner has the ability to realize his self. By realizing the afflictions or modifications of mind we can realize the true potential of yoga. Yoga as a science and way of life can bestow its practitioner immense strength of mind, peace of mind and the ability to discriminate good and bad.
