Yoga can make us immortalize the higher common ground
by Chanakya Ganguly on US Memorial Day (May 25th, 2020)
Yoga can make us look beyond the physical zest and heroics of war

Memorial Day, commemorates, the many who gave their lives for freedom. Started with
the Civil War, it claimed 600,000 lives. Followed by the 1st World War that claimed
130,000 and many more. Conflicts start in the unsettled human mind as it gives a zesty
feeling of being alive. Yoga can change the dramatic nature to break free from boredom.

Yoga can make us resolve the roots of conflict that start a war

Most wars start with the conflict in the human mind which start from immature
emotions and unresolved ego, which thinks that we are all separate with different
identities. Yoga and Ayurveda can resolve the war that goes on in our inner body, mind, and spirit, for our evolution beyond the physical to graduate to the spiritual level.

Yoga can make us reflect on the higher common ground

Conflict seems to give humans a zesty feeling of being alive. Waving flags, putting on
uniforms, loading guns have global appeal. We choose sides, start shooting. Rally
around the flag, to become something larger than themselves. Boring life gets filled with
duty, drama, death, sacrifice. Common ground is key to changing this warring nature.

Yoga can heal the decades-old conflicts around the world

Yoga, which translates roughly “unity” in ancient Sanskrit, can’t heal the decades-long
Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but it can help both Palestinians and Israelis heal the
wounds of war within themselves. Perhaps promoting inner peace will bring this region
one step closer to achieving peace for everyone, even during the most “heated” conflicts.

Yoga can provide the “final solution” for all clashes between Organized Religions
https://www.yahoo.com/news/israel-clashes-iran-over-anti-143618954.html
Tensions escalated on a poster calling for a “final solution” to the conflict. Without
worldwide Yogic Education and Enlightenment there is no “final solution” from
the bedroom to boardroom, from individual to societal to national to international conflicts.
Yoga can pacify the emotional fuel in the fiery mind, and thus nip the problems in the
bud and keep people moving in the Calm Spiritual Path of Peace and Success, from
darkness to light. Yoga can bring focus on reality and settle the mind in its Passive State.

Yoga can ingrain theoretical Wisdom through Practice like Immanuel Kant
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/voices/the-containment/

Immanuel Kant, the Prussian German philosopher in the Age of Enlightenment wrote

in his transcendental idealism, wrote, “Experience without theory is blind, but theory
without experience is mere intellectual play. Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom
is organized life.” Yoga makes us self-organizing and realizes wisdom through practice.
