The wavy waters in the picture are symbolic of Karma; the lotus, of Bhakti; and the rising-sun, of Jnana. The encircling serpent is indicative of Yoga and the awakened Kundalini Shakti, while the swan in the picture stands for the Paramatman (Supreme Self).
The wavy waters in the picture are symbolic of Karma; the lotus, of Bhakti; and the rising-sun, of Jnana. The encircling serpent is indicative of Yoga and the awakened Kundalini Shakti, while the swan in the picture stands for the Paramatman (Supreme Self). Therefore the idea of the picture is that by the union of Karma, Jnana, Bhakti, and Yoga, the vision of the Paramatman is obtained.
These pages have been the outcome of a form of thinking aloud on the subject of Yoga. The language used is not, therefore, of a philosophical treatise.
It is with some hesitation that these unvarnished thoughts are sent out in print-in the hope that there might be a fellow-traveller in the path or a co-aspirant after the goal.
So much has been said and written about Yoga-some of it with undisputed authority by a spiritual giant like Swami Vivekananda-that this little book cannot claim to say anything new or original on the subject. As its prosaic title implies, its main object is to discuss the science of Yoga in as simple and rational a manner as possible; and also to debunk some of the nonsense that continues to be said and believed on the subject.
