Of all the things in the world, of all the things that a human being can do, lay yoga,

everything that human beings can do is essentially an expression of who they are.

Somebody sings a song, somebody dances, somebody writes a book, somebody paints a picture,

whatever else we do, is an expression of who you are.

You may be conscious of it, you may be unconscious of it, but still everything that you say,

everything that you do, everything that comes out of you is essentially an expression

of who you are.

So yoga, in that way, is diametrically opposite to this, because it's not an expression

of who you are, it's about determining as to who you are, it's about determining as

to what you want to be.

Changing the very fundamentals of one's existence, today there is substantial medical and scientific

evidence to show that the very fundamentals of the activity of your brain, your chemistry,

even your genetic content can be changed by practicing different systems of yoga.

This needed no confirmation because we have always witnessed this, but today there is

scientific data to prove this.

So this is not an expression of who you are, this is about determining the nature of

your wish to who you wish to be, changing the fundamental ingredients, which has made

you who you are.

So yoga as a system needs much more involvement than any other things, there are one, any other

other forms of things that we do, which are merely an expression of who we are.

If you find full expression through any particular activity, it may also leave you somewhat

transformed.
