The important teachings/practice of yoga

These are the important teachings/practice of yoga to subjugate the modifications of the mind, to remove the veil of ignorance, to eliminate the idea of 'worldly existence', to annihilate the ego/the idea of 'I', to transcend quality of names and forms/duality/time, space and causation/cause and effect, but yet, these teachings/practice are also being disliked/disagreed/criticized/ignored/denied/abandoned/least practiced by many of the yoga enthusiasts/practitioners/teachers.

There's nothing wrong with many people who 'do yoga' on regular basis just want to attain some physical and mental benefits from performing the yoga practice and engaging in some yoga community activities to feel good, healthy and meaningful. Only those who have firmed determination or intense yearning for liberation can understand and treasure the importance of these teachings/practice.

For the minds that are deep rooted in worldly ideas, all these teachings/practice are being seen as 'abnormality', 'selfishness', 'craziness', 'wrongfulness', 'negativeness', 'inappropriateness', 'unhealthy', 'regression', 'inhumane', and etc. But in fact, all these teachings/practice practically and effectively lead to compassion/peace.

Silencing the modifications of the mind annihilating ignorance and egoism is the great compassion of embracing and upholding peace and harmony in the world.

If one single person in the world attained 'silence/annihilation of the mind' or 'liberation from ignorance and egoism', there's less a person in the world generates 'impure intention', 'egoistic desire/ambition', 'ill-feeling', 'disappointment', 'hurts', 'anger', 'hatred', 'fear', 'ill-thinking', 'ill-will', 'discrimination', 'prejudice', 'corruption', 'unrest', 'violence', 'disturbance', 'negativity', 'disharmony', 'tension', 'unhappiness', 'meaninglessness', 'destructive behavior', 'ignorant actions and reactions', and so on, into the world.

It's the most practical effective way to contribute peace and harmony into the world.

People might think and believe that they are kind and compassionate beings who embrace and uphold 'peace and harmony in the world', while aspiring or trying to create/empower/influence a society/community that behave in certain ways that they think and believe is 'good', 'right', 'positive' and 'appropriate', but unwittingly, everyone keeps contributing 'unrest' into the world out of the name of 'embracing and upholding peace and harmony in the world', by fighting against those whom they think are destroying or obstructing 'peace and harmony in the world'.

Most people want 'peace and harmony' that comply to some requirements and conditions, influenced by their own particular personal/social/cultural/religious/spiritual/philosophical/political way of thinking/belief/values/vision/practice/living, that unwittingly contributing to all kinds of discrimination and wars.

For those who truly wish for 'peace and harmony in the world' as it is, they can inquire and implement these teachings/practice of yoga -

Dispassion/indifference/dissociate/disinterest

Renunciation towards worldly attachments/identifications/affairs/ideas/objects/thinking/belief/values/practice/habits/relationships/connections/associations/mingling/interactions/activities/actions and the fruit of actions

Abandoning/renouncing worldly enjoyments of the senses/stimulation of the mind/longing/ambitions/fame/status/authority/pride/supremacy/glory

Desirelessness

Aloneness

Solitude

Seclusion

Silence

Transcending duality of good and bad, right and wrong, positive and negative, meaninglessness and meaningfulness, praise and condemn, gain and loss, heat and cold, pleasantness and unpleasantness, happiness and unhappiness, likes and dislikes, agreements and disagreements, appropriateness and inappropriateness

Uninfluenced by the past desirable/undesirable experiences and the future imagination/anticipation/speculation/projection

Allowing all and everyone to be what they are, free from expectation/interference/control towards all human beings that 'all human beings should and shouldn't think/believe/feel/behave/act and react in certain ways'

Respecting the law of nature/impermanence

Inquire the truth of 'selflessness'

Annihilation of the modification of the mind/the existence of 'I'

"Passionately loving the world and claiming ownership/responsibility/authority towards the condition of the world by expecting/desiring/aspiring the world to be in certain ways that the minds think and believe how it should be, and being disturbed, frustrated, offended and hurt by the condition of the world that is not the way that the mind would like it to be, doesn't help the world to have peace.

Letting go of passionate love towards the world, without claiming ownership/responsibility/authority to expect/desire/aspire the condition of the world to be in certain ways that the minds think and believe how it should be, without being disturbed, frustrated, offended or hurt by the condition of the world that is not the way that the mind would like it to be, and have peace in oneself, is the selfless compassion that will help the world to have peace."

By performing all kinds of 'yoga practice' regularly for many years, but without implementing all these teachings/practice, the mind will still be disturbed, frustrated, offended and hurt by something that the mind doesn't like, doesn't want and doesn't agree with. There's no peace in this mind.

It's everyone's freedom for what they want to do with their life and what they want/don't want to think and believe. People don't have to implement these teachings/practice of yoga, if they don't like or don't agree with these teachings/practice of yoga.
