33 – World is a Gymnasium, You Don’t Live in a Gymnasium | Patanjali Yoga Sutras | Swami Tattwamayananda - a podcast by Vedanta Society, San Francisco

Lecture by Swami Tattwamayananda. Yoga and Vedanta do not remove problems, they help us to confront them from a different perspective. The world is your gymnasium. You don’t live in a gymnasium but you use it. By Samyoga, the identification with the world, we are led step by step to transcending the world. It is not nature that is a problem, it is our ignorance about our relationship to nature and our true nature that creates a problem. Sometimes the world gives us blows to help us to evolve and other times we seek out higher culture willingly. Verses: II.17, II.22, II.23
