Yoga signifies the profound encounter with inner unity and oneness, a state achieved by transcending the dichotomy of mind and matter and merging into the supreme reality. It operates as a scientific discipline through which individuals navigate the path toward truth. The ultimate objective of all yoga practices lies in attaining truth, wherein the individual soul harmonizes itself with the supreme soul or god. At its core, yoga embodies mastery over the mind, and true contentment emerges when one can adeptly discern the real from the unreal, the eternal from the transient, and the virtuous from the detrimental through discernment and wisdom.
