TO REMOVE OBSTACLES IN THE WAY OF PROGRESS

The practice of Yoga is the commitment to become established in the state of freedom. The practice of Yoga will be firmly rooted when it is maintained consistently and with dedication over a long period.

Freedom is that sate of consciousness which is beyond the influence of desire.

Supreme freedom is that complete liberation from the world of change which comes of knowing the unbounded SELF.

The Settled mind is known as SAMADHI.

After the repeated experience of the settling and ceasing of mental activity, comes another Samadhi.

It can also come from complete surrender to the ALMIGHTY LORD.

NOW WHO IS LORD?

The Lord is a unique being who exists beyond all suffering, unblemished by action.  HE is free from both its cause and its effects.

In HIM lies the finest seed of all knowledge.

Being beyond Time, HE is the Teacher of even the most ancient tradition of teachers.

He is expressed through the sound of the sacred syllable OM.

OM should be repeated and its essence realized.  Then the mind will turn inwards and the obstacles which stand in the way of progress will disappear.
