The Next 15 To 30 Years Are Crucial For Humanity

As human beings, we can do so many different activities. But whatever the nature of our activity, in today's world, even hard-nosed businessmen are talking about impact, not profit.

- 

"Impact" is a crude way of saying, "We want to touch someone's life." Whether business people are talking about impact, or you are forming a personal relationship with someone, essentially, somewhere, you want to break the boundaries with someone for some time.

To be a yogi means to be determined to obliterate the boundaries of your individuality. In some way, you want to erase the lines that separate you from the rest of the universe. Yoga means to approach it in a scientific way. You do not have to do any great amount of activity; you do not have to indulge in sexuality; you do not have to get entangled in anything. If you consciously erase your boundaries, simply sitting here, you can experience a trillion times more than with any activity, and it is just fantastic. Yoga means to obliterate your boundaries.

Desperate Attempts

All the human nonsense that you see on the planet is only because of concretized boundaries. They have concretized their boundaries so rigidly that if two people meet, they will clash. Yoga does not mean twisting and turning; it is not a weight loss program or stress relief program. It means you understood the stupidity of "me versus the universe." It is absolutely idiotic to be in competition with that which is the source of your life. When you realize that, you are moving towards yoga.

It does not matter how you do it. You can call it impact, you can call it service, you can call it whatever you want. Essentially, when you realize this me vs. the rest of the universe is a stupid competition to get into, you start relaxing your boundaries this is yoga. That means approaching it in a fail-safe way. When two people fall in love or get married, they think they are in yoga, they broke their boundaries, but after some time, you will see it is not fail-safe.
