Yoga Concepts
Yoga comes from Bhārat, so it is important to understand the underpinnings of this complex and subtle life-system.
The conceptual underpinning of Yoga are cognitive. This means that one cannot intellectualise these concepts, but look at them cognitively and viscerally.
All this means that the ancient concepts of asmitā or self-worth, dharma or natural state, karma or action that creates debt, and other concepts that are applicable to Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Sikhs, need to be rewired and understood as a life system, not as a religion or belief system, linked to a God, as propounded by other non-Indic major World religions.

Māya can also be called illusion
Māya means illusion or farce. The concept gets its drive from the logic that everything that we see or experience in the world is temporary, hence illusionary.
