Peace Within

Yoga is an essential part of life on earth to cure oneself from physical and mental ailments. The root cause of diseases, it is by now well known, is the faulty ways of living, bad habits, absence of proper knowledge of things, improper food, etc. The malfunctioning of the body causes imbalance in the body and so one gets sick.

In order to keep a disease free body and mind, human beings on earth have been adjusting themselves from time to time to the prevailing environment. They have to see that the environment in which they live remains congenial. Atmospheric pressure, temperature, presence of gases like oxygen and nutrients are essential for sustaining life on earth. Physiological –internal –environment like body temperature, fluids in the body, functioning of various organs, development of body are equally necessary. Psychological factors like likes and dislikes, various beliefs and fear also affect human beings on earth.

But, contrary to our wishes, it is not necessary that environment is always helpful or favorable. Often it becomes so hostile that human beings suffer pain and misery. That is why our ancestors thought over the problems of fellow beings, made researches and out came sciences ,philosophies and political and religious activities. All these were aimed at reducing tension and human misery.
