The basis of yoga is this, that you are absolutely intense and relaxed at the same time.

Right now the problems, the variety of problems that human beings are going through from within

themselves, in terms of mental situations, psychological problems, emotional problems, is just this,

if you ask them to be intense, they become tense, if you ask them to relax, they will become

relaxed. Intention, you will not know life the way it is. In laxity you will miss everything. So

it's very important that your intense, absolutely intense and relaxed at the same time. If you do this one

thing, you're in yoga, you're in yoga means you are one with everything, you are one with everything,

means, experientially you know everything that's worth knowing in this universe. Every human being is

capable of this, the only problem means tension and laxity. You have to become intense and relaxed.

These states of tension and laxity happens to you because you're essentially privileged about life.

You've already decided what is important and what is not important. You have made one thing big,

one thing small, one thing good, another thing bad, one thing high, another thing low.

If you just take away this discriminatory process and allow yourself to experience life the way it is

right now, you will be intense and relaxed naturally. In these judgments of what is worthwhile and what

is not, you become lax and tense. You need intensity and relaxation at the same given moment.

Then you are a full-fledged life. You are a yoga.
