Acharya Prashant explains that the human consciousness is currently displaced from its true home, which is the Self or Atma. This state of being 'homeless' manifests as restlessness, frustration, and constant distraction. Yoga is defined as the process of reconnecting this strayed consciousness back to its source. Since individuals get lost in various ways—some through physical attachments, others through anger or desire—different methods of Yoga are prescribed based on where one is stuck. For instance, detachment is the remedy for those bound by worldly cravings, while renunciation is for those driven by hatred.
