The word ‘yoga’ means 'to join together’. The very words ‘join together’ are wrong; they imply duality. Yoga, as a particular series of exercises and breathing, was probably invented in India many thousands of years ago. Its intent is to keep the glands, the nerves and the whole system functioning healthily, without medicine, and highly sensitive. The body needs to be sensitive, otherwise you cannot have a clear brain. You can see the simple fact that one needs to have a very healthy, sensitive, alert body and a brain that functions very clearly, non-emotionally, not personally; such a brain can be absolutely quiet.
