This talk introduces Yoga.
The ideals of every religion, howsoever great, tends to get diluted due to wrong understanding of the ideal by the followers, or due to their overpowering desires for power and pelf. When it crosses a limit, the adherents either lose faith, or lose sight of the very purpose of religion resulting in emotionalism, irrationality, and fanaticism. To stop this rot, it is essential that people have a science of spirituality, against which their own practices can be judged and set right.
Yoga is that science of spirituality. It is the purifying fire in which the garbage of a religion can be burnt down. Being the exalted art and the practical science of spirituality, it commands a special respect among all other paths to realisation. That is why it is also known as the royal road to realisation, Raja Yoga.
Yoga assumes nothing, accepts nothing that is wild, and tolerates no hocus pocus in its practice. It is not meant for the weak in the body, nor can it be practised by the weak in mind, resolve, or spirit. Even a little practise of it gives one concrete results, and opens higher doors to wisdom. And, what to say of practices, even a mere study of this science is capable of removing doubts and confusion from one's mind.
