Yoga useless?

  • A yogi who had also attained the goal of yoga jivanmukthi – Jnaneswara also terms in his Anubhavamrita, yogic techniques as useless as the moon in day time when compared with mokshya.
  • krishnamurti in his commentaries on living (he is supposes to have reached the goal of yoga) ventures to notify that both those individuals who practice yoga and those who are pursuing to acquire worldly comforts do not differ much from each other.
  • They are both greedy and nature ambitions.
  • According to him the desire to free oneself from the cycle of birth and death is also a form of desire like other desires for worldly enjoyments.
    Yet another version from Maitreyi upanisha teaches us that the pleasure one gets through the pursuit of mukti is not real for the simple reason that it is not an experience of the state of emancipation.

    But the techniques do help those who have not yet seen the light of mokskya.
