The term Yoga itself means to combine, coordinate, harmonise, integrate, utilise. It indicates the maximum coordination of energy towards transformation or liberation. In the Vedic teaching it is not merely enough to learn something theoretically or conceptually, as the intellect is not the instrument of real knowledge. Whatever we learn must be put into practice in our daily life, with body, speech, mind and full awareness. It is only when it becomes part of our nature, that it can be said to be really known or accomplished. This practical application of the Vedic teaching is called Yoga. As practice is more important than theory, Yoga is more important than Veda, though neither should be separated from the other.
