CONCLUSION
Yoga is union not separation, universal not individual, aggregate not segregate, association not dissociation, interdependence not isolation, equality not vanity, benevalnce not selfishness, phenomenon not neumenon, human not superhuman, symbiosis not predation or exploitation. All schools of yoga, eminent yoga teachers, canonical yoga scriptures agree on the very meaning of the word yoga ‘युजिशयोगें' and its objective 'सर्वेभवन्तु सुखिनः' but do not endorse the dictum “We all shall swim or sink together". All systems of yoga, articulations and practices are individual centred. There is emphasis on oneself. One should rise and attain salvation, happiness, tranquility, peace of mind, freedom from vices, sorrows and miseries and one should be healthy and fit. This is isolating an individual from the composite whole. This is against the very fundamentals of yoga. The argument is that if individuals rise the whole would rise. This is not possible because concentration is on individuals and this number is limited. They may rise temperorily but will be pulled down eventually by the pull of masses left urattended, untouched and unaffected. Nothing function or can functions in isolation. This is also an established scientific principle now. A simple example is that if air, water and soil are polluted no yoga practice will be of any help for any individual and may even harm as breathing exercises would be in polluted air. No one can remain healthy if drinking water is polluted and food eaten is from polluted soil and is containing residual chemical fertilisers and pesticides. Overall environment both physical (natural) and social should be amicable and congenial for good and welfare of any individual. There cannot be peace if there are even a few terrorists. History is witness that even mighty emperors, kings and rulers were pulled down by the pull of poor and suffering masses. It is an erroneous concept that an individual self (his soul) is competent to steer clear of adverse physical and social environment and will be able to rise above. The Ideal Yoga is universal for benefit of one and all, that all should rise together.
There are systems and subsystems from smallest at atomic and subatomic levels to higher planetary, galaxial and cosmic levels interacting in symbiotic yogic phenomenon. For example a human being is a complete and perfect system for all its organs heart, lungs, lever, brain etc. all working in sync and harmony for the whole. Every organ is made of cells where cells are parts or subsystems and the organs is a complete system for its part but organ itself is a subsystem or part in the whole body system. Each cell is made up of its various parts or
