Hello Everyone,
The article mentions on realization and yogi. I thought that (Education -> Knowledge ->) Realizing the truth in everything -> Freedom. Also, I thought that Yoga is about control. Perhaps both are means towards the same.
I've shared the same on http://www.facebook.com/hindublog to perhaps discuss on it.
Best,
Shakti Saran
