There is No Yoga

Sri Ramana Maharshi

A visitor asked, “I have been visiting various shrines in a pilgrimage, and worshipping various images. What exactly is God’s true form?”

B: The only thing to know is that there is an entity who is in all these forms, but who is not these forms. We see the One in the many. We see the One as many, the Formless in the forms.

In answer to a visitor, Bhagavan said, “Find out to whom is Viyoga. That is yoga. Yoga is common to all paths. Yoga is really nothing but ceasing to think that you are different from the Self or Reality. All the yogas - karma, jnana, bhakti and raja - are just different paths to suit different natures with different modes of evolution and to get them out of the long cherished notion that they are different from the Self. There is no question of union or yoga in the sense of going and joining something that is somewhere away from us or different from us, because you never were or could be separate from the Self.”
