== The basics of yoga according to the Upnishads : ==
== संहृतिः ॥ Synopsis ==
Upanishads say that the natural state of humans is the state of silence where the mind stops chattering. That is the state free of all thoughts or a state of peace. Such peace is important especially for all those who
* are in search of greater and more permanent happiness and bliss
* seek knowledge
* want to be totally free
* aspire to become more and more creative
Because only when the mind is free of thoughts can it be a state of bliss, knowledge and creativity. And an ideal society is the one in which the above features are found. It is constructed by setting up and observing the prescribed social norms and value system like the Yamas and Niyamas of Yoga Darshana, habits, customs, manners, etiquettes, etc. These are the components that help movement in the direction of peace.
Bharata for centuries has stood for such a social setup. It believes in the creation of such an environment where all individuals progress towards their goal of peace and the achievement of the required social values.
Thus, it is important to work towards the creation of a Spiritually Inclined Environment. Because with such a spiritual background, one is freed from over stimulation, unhealthy competition, comparison, stress and pressure to achieve unrealistic targets. As Swami Vivekananda puts it, each individual is potentially divine and every child is differently gifted. And through Yogic practices, one should calm the mind and nurture one's area of interest and talent to achieve one's true potential.<ref name=":0" />
