Yoga, for divinity, is the various manifestations of the divine that embrace souls: the all pervading imperishable Brahman; the presence of divinity in the beautiful and sublime in this world; the powerful and spectacular Vishva Rupa;...
...the supreme Self dwelling in the hearts of all as the Purusha;
...and the supreme personal divinity, Krishna, celebrated as Purushottama, the ultimate Person; or Yogeshvara, the supreme Lord of Yoga; or Bhagavan, the Beloved Lord-the most intimate deity for the loving devotee.
Through these divine manifestations, the supreme divinity is revealed to souls or concealed from souls according to their desire or lack of desire to come to him, to unite with him.
Humans, on the other hand, are to practice a Yoga that, according to the Bhagavad Gita, is not a reclusive meditation in some distant mountain hermitage but rather an inclusive meditation in the hermitage found within one's own heart, and in the hearts of others.
When you realize you are drowning yourself in Krishna's heart, you are not cognizant of your individuality, though we remain an individual. You lose yourself completely to gain yourself fully.
The ultimate yoga for souls is to attain a state of full-heartedness - a heart that offers itself in unremitting, unconditional love in response to the divine yearning. This yearning, the greatest secret of all, is pronounced as "You are so much loved by me."
Yoga is the mutual loving
embrace between humanity and divinity.
This is the supreme secret of Yoga.
"Why is this yearning of the
Beloved Lord kept a secret?," you might ask
The Beloved Lord keeps his love a secret simply because we
are just not ready to hear it. He's already embracing us
with all his numerous manifestations, but we may not
respond. He is, therefore, a passive lover at this point,
an eternally patient lover. It is important to note that
The Beloved Lord is not a judgmental deity or a god of
punishment, condemnation or guilt. He doesn't want an
atmosphere of obligatory love: I love you and if you don't
love me you go to hell for eternity. He waits for us -
forever. His love is so beautiful and perfect because it's
unconditional and he wants our love to be just as
unconditional. It's therefore the secret call of the
divinity.
