Excellent post @ soulsistashakti! based on The Classic Yoga by Walter Gardini, Yoga advocates an alert conscience, which is why we work to get out of ignorance, and a realistic vision: to learn to face pain with sorrow, to be instructed by it, to take advantage of the lessons it can give us.
In reality it is a light that allows us to know and clarify the mystery of life. As Unamuno wrote: "it is our inevitable contact with reality" that is, with the finitude of the human being. Only those who freely accept pain as a teacher can, through it, grow, create and choose the most authentic values.
I consider myself a yogi, on the way and therefore I try to understand this type of questioning from this philosophy that I love and respect because it has allowed me to see life in another way, live more in the present and understand many things, such as pain, fear, etc. and has given me tools to cope with them.
