The Yoga Sutras focus the least on the asanas (poses). After all, the body is just a medium, necessary to be kept healthy but eventually will deteriorate.
Yoga is about mastering the mind, not just the splits!

Bhagavad Gita goes even deeper into: Jnana Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Raja Yoga and Karma Yoga.

Spiritually: it's the "monkey mind" leaping branch to branch, very rapidly. Awareness is focused only in one moment; true presence demands focus.

As the great sage Patanjali wrote in the Yoga Sutras (II.33):

वितर्कबाधने प्रतिपक्षभावनम् ॥ २.३३ ॥

vitarkabādhane pratipakṣabhāvanam || 2.33 ||

When the mind is inhibited by negative thoughts, the opposites should be thought of.

👆 If the above sounds like CBT, perhaps it is. 🙏🏾

This idea into emptiness (śūnyatā) is central to Mahayana Buddhist philosophy, focusing that all phenomena are interdependent and lack any intrinsic, permanent nature.

However, all of these fail to capture reality because they presuppose inherent existence.

Nāgārjuna argued that reality is ultimately empty of inherent essence and arises through Dependent Origination, where all phenomena exist in dependence on causes and conditions.

The brilliant Indian Buddhist philosopher used the Catuskoti (four-fold negation) to reveal the limitations of conceptual thinking, to cut through any concept of capturing “reality”.

He presented four logical possibilities about reality: existence, non-existence, both, and neither.
