When walking the path of Self Realization we encounter two aspects.
The first one is non attachment also called dispassion and the second one is practice. The more we practice the more we achieve non attachment. Our minds become more clear of imprints or memories and we are able to live a pleasant life without turmoil and egotistical reactions to what we used to believe as mine or yours.
This way we step out of the constant duality, good, bad, right wrong, pain and pleasure. This is the way in which we walk the Path of Yoga.
Abhyasa and vairagya, practice and non attachment lead us to the Truth.

Giving selflessly is the highest expression of love . Those who are able to give without attachment are able to experience true happiness giving all they have for the benefit of others. They use a little bit of what is left for their own existence and they continue giving the rest to others. As nature does , the raindrop sacrifices itself and becomes part of the plant , the sun gives its energy to give light and life to all beings. The rain that nourished the plants, herbs, and all sorts of food for human beings is a free gift from providence. The entire Universe is a gift, and it continues giving of itself for all.
That is what I call love.

The meditation practice is divided into three main stages:
Initial: At this stage the student thinks he/she is practicing, but actually he/she is preparing for practice. In this case the practice consists of collecting the necessary means and resources to begin to stay in the path.
Intermediate: At this stage, a students is fully equipped with all the resources he/she needs to practice. His/Hes time and energyare not involved in collecting means and learning methods, rather he spends his time in practice.
Last stage: achievement : At this stage, a student experiences the Truth. He/She may have only momentary glimpses of Truth, but at least is direct experience, which helps him/her understand the greatness of the Truth. Spiritual practice or Sadhana consists in trying to maintain that state. As his/her practice matures , he/she becomes and adept, then he/she needs no to try any more, for the experience of non-dual Reality is maintained effortlessly and spontaneously.

There are many Paths to Self- Realization but the four principal ones are:
Karma Yoga – The Yoga of Action
Bhakti Yoga – The Yoga of Devotion
Jnana Yoga – The Yoga of Knowledge and Discrimination
Raja Yoga – The Royal Path
Raja Yoga includes the teachings of all different Paths and it concerns itself with three dimensions or realms :
-Physical
-Mental
-Spiritual
When we master Raja Yoga , we achieve mastering of the three realms, leading us to Self-Realization. The origins of Raja Yoga are unknown, but they are considered Teaching’s of Divine Origin.
It is a true Gift to be able to practice Raja Yoga or also called Astanga_Yoga.
