Knowledge of the soul #1 (Jiva Tattva #1). On the path of Yoga the first step is the understanding that you are not the body, that you are a spiritual soul. That is the starting point, then the path of self-realization begins. The following verse explains one of the three qualities of the soul: . For the soul there is neither birth nor death at any time. He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain. (Bg. 2.20) The Sloka in Sanskrit: na jāyate mriyate vā kadācin nāyaṁ bhūtvā bhavitā vā na bhūyaḥ ajo nityaḥ śāśvato ’yaṁ purāṇo na hanyate hanyamāne śarīre . . #yogapath #yogaasitis #bhagavadgita #jivatattva #yogarishikesh #yogaabudhabi #yogadubai
