The word ‘Yoga’ is derived from the Sanskrit root ‘Yuj’, meaning ‘to join’ or ‘to yoke’ or ‘to unite’.

Life as an art and art as a game – as action for its own sake, without thought of gain or of loss, praise or blame – is the key, then, to the turning of living itself into a yoga, and art into the means to such a life.*
Joseph Campbell

The finite player competes against,
The infinite player plays with;
One serves division, the other
oneness –
Life-in-all-its-fullness is
a journey from the finite to the infinite.

*Joseph Campbell’s Myths to Live By.
