Yoga is not only physical exercises.

Yogic practice is the process by which we will experience it as a result of a clear mind. 

The process of Yoga is to stop the continuous movement caused by the distractions of the mind-stuff.

Beyond the mind is Purusha – pure consciousness, which is the witness to all the activities of Prakriti.

Turiya is a state where the witness remains without getting involved in the waking state, dream state and deep sleep.  

In the Yoga Sutras, there is Prakriti – primal matter, and Purusha – pure consciousness.

When the mind settles down quietly, when there are no ripples on its surface, perhaps then one identifies the witness that’s watching everything. 

Sleep is so rejuvenating because one is fully unaware then that they exist.

When you were dreaming, there was a witness to the dream. When you were awake, there was a witness to the state of waking.

The  ‘U’ sound in Aum represents the dream state that is common to all humanity.
