Yoga in all its forms , karma yoga, jnana yoga , niskarma karma yoga ,astanga yoga , and Bhakti yoga all give individuals the power to say ..
NO .
And the power to say YES to positive constructive and progressive paths leading to happy, healthy, and consciously aware lives . The yoga paths are various, and so are the people that follow them .
The material world can be illuminating and highly beneficial for everyone or a place of degradation .
Let the Vedic intelligentsia chart your course , dont be swept away into the ocean of sharks and poison givers of jellyfish that look externally soft and appealing .
If anyone is overboard and sinking fast, seek help , addiction therapists also know the power of no and have systems to help .
Lord Krishna is His Bhagavad Gita gives the complete summary of the power of saying No to one thing and Yes to another
