Description

Acharya Prashant explains that an enlightened being is a yogi who is devoid of the conventional sense of yoga. He clarifies that true yoga is not the union of two separate entities, because for a union to occur, there must be two real things. In reality, there are no two; there is only the truth. He describes yoga as the disappearance of the false rather than a summation of parts. He critiques the common misconception that yoga is a union of mind, body, and soul, stating that these divisions are illusory and often used for commercial purposes. When the false disappears, what remains is not a union but a state of being where the second entity has lost its grip.
