DEDICATION TO GOD


The art of "Yoga" teaches one to control his mind and thus dedicate himself to God and thus lead a peaceful life. Yoga at the same time does not ask one to detach himself from his worldly duties, enjoyment, etc. A stage when man becomes becomes humble, kind considerate and compassionate in his attitude.

Yoga makes us whole by realizing the divine in our present life and helps us to lead a life free from anxiety and fear. Man has many shortcoming and flaws in him. The greatest of all vices in man that brings his downfall or creates hurdles in his life is his EGO. it is the pride which spoil's man's relations with others and makes his behavior rough or unrighteous and it is the mental and emotional attachment that puts him in various bondage. Yoga is that frees man from this enslavement of this bondage.

Yoga teaches one to have unswerving faith in God and to surrender himself unto Him so that the divine forces can work on him to remove the hard crust of vices. The inner feel of self-surrender brings to him the meekness so that he now thinks fit to act as per God's will. His pride of erudition, worldly wisdom, riches, youth and vigour now vanishes.

Dedication to God brings changes in a person that he no longer remains confined to a group of people, he can love the world in its broader aspect. Neither has he any aversion or ill-will towards others and feels he should be of service to the world which is his family.

Hence YOGA creates a yogi who does his duties without attachment and without ego. He himself likes to be in the service of mankind.
