Yoga, The Root

Yoga is not a modern invention

But a Prehistoric possession

Religion is the flower

Of which yoga is the root

Philosophy, poetry, and work minute

Yoga is the birth and passing away of things

Endless promise, amity, and insight it brings

Eternal fact of process based on nature

‘We’ are ‘One’ yet divided, creatures

Yoga is the highest that we know

And nearest to the absolute

There is none bound, none free

Turning to the universe ‘the pursuit’

Purity, liberty, beatitude, and perfection

Yoga is the proof that ‘humanity is one’!
