“Why do we practice yoga?”
“Behind every sick man there is a spiritual man. Behind a diabetic there is a yogi. Behind a man suffering from depression is an aspirant.
When a patient comes for help, teach him yoga and make him better. Treat his sickness but do not stop there. Take him further into the spiritual domain of life.
The physical health improves but to be taken further to become free from the vagaries of the mind. This is the true spirit of hatha yoga.” Ref from Hatha Yoga Pradipika by Swami Swatmarama.
Om Shanti
