Yoga and the Sacred Fire: Self-Realization and Planetary Transformation
By David Frawley

Yoga as a spiritual discipline first arose through the contemplation of world of nature, not merely as an external force but as a power of consciousness. The main principle behind all yogic thought is that the entire universe dwells within our own hearts and that in our true Self we are one with all beings. Intelligence is not merely a human phenomenon but is inherent in all existence that is one with consciousness. It is the very basis of existence.
