The main object of this book is to discuss the science of Yoga in as simple and rational a manner as possible, and also to debunk some of the nonsense that continues to be said and believed on the subject. A must for all those are eager to clarify their conception about Yoga.
I have been asked many times, Why do you laugh so much and make so many jokes? I become serious sometimes--when I have a stomachache! The Lord is all blissfulness. He is the reality behind all that exists. He is the goodness, the truth in everything. You are His incarnations. That is what is glorious. The nearer you are to Him, the less you will have occasions to cry or weep. The further we are from Him, the more will long faces come. The more we know of Him, the more misery vanishes.
-Swami Vivekananda
