Yoga – Philosophy vs Practice

योगश्चित्तवृत्तिनिरोध: 

कहाँ ये कम्बख्त दिल बेताब

है हज़ारों ख़्वाहिशें लिए 

सुकून को करता तलाश,

कर बग़ावत दिल से हम 

अपनी ही फ़ाकामस्ती में 

फ़क़ीर बन कब़ीर बन 

लाएँगे एक रोज़ इंक़लाब…

Yoga is restraining the mind-stuff from taking various forms.

But there are a thousand desires, yet the impatient heart looks for peace.

But now that I’ve become a rebel against my own heart,

I’m sure this freedom and the ascetic within me like Kabir will bring forth a revolution someday…
