It is NOT possible to know the self without yoga. Thus NO KNOWLEDGE is possible without yoga
The yoga I refer to is not what you traditionally believe or read. All books and shastra DO NOT describe the yoga I refer to. Yes they have profound impact but the key necessity has been obscured.
I have described the key points repeatedly but human intellect will prevent almost all readers from grasping it.
Everytime I read yogananda God talks with Gita I realize why did I not grasp this subtle point right away ? It was written in white and black.
The problem is we are predetermined , based on our ego, that what I think and know is correct, and no matter what yogananda said or shankaracharya said, or Bhavin says, I know more and better and they are all wrong
Of course it is ridiculous. But that is the way it is. Your own preconceived ideas insist that “it has to be this way” Atman has no thoughts. Just realization.
