What is yoga?

[Guest guest]

According to the Master Aleister Crowley, in his

brilliant and entertaining book "Yoga", he states

clearly , "Yoga means 'Union'." Perhaps I will type

out the relevant paragraphs for you later on, if I

have time.

Exactly . I would add that is also means "union of male and female

aspects", as Jnanarnava-tantra states (shivashakti samAyogo yoga eva

na saMshayaH).

 

Concerning that, Liber AL (which was written through Crowley) says:

"For I am divided for love's sake, for the chance of union" (1.29).

 

In that perfect union 4 *alchemic elements* merge into one Love,

manifesting That totality which Bible named "YHVH"...

 

And, my best regards, Shankara .

 

Love is the law, love under will.
