God realization and Self knowledge are the birthright of every human being, but as a result of heredity, environment, delusion, illusion and error, people are extrovert and bound to the senses. They search for happiness in the sensory objects. When one is engrossed in the world, it leaves no time for spiritual enquiry.
The main problem is they forget that the soul is the sole doer. How does one know the indwelling self? What is the solution? Yoga is the only way. What is yoga? Yoga is union: feeling the state of union consciously in every step of your life. Your body is united with the soul. Breath is constantly flowing and uniting with the soul within. Just through the breath you can move inwardly to the divine presence of the soul. Real yoga is to perceive union with God in every moment. It is the realization of the perfection that is already within us.
If you remove the insulation from an electric wire and touch the bare wire you feel the current. Similarly feel the touch sensation in the body as the touch sensation of the soul. Perceive and feel that divine current in every sensation. Always be aware of the inner self and you will get reality, the truth in life. You are born for this. With sincerity and simplicity, you have to follow the path of discipline and regular practice.
