We have heard much too often about the famous shloka Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitah...which means that Dharma protects those who live by it, who protect it.
In my many years of Yoga practice I have realized that Yoga gives Yogyata or "the ability to unite with" thus Yogah Yogyati Yoginah
The loose English translation of the word Yogyata has been "Ability". However the way we can understand it at a deeper level is the ability to immerse oneself in whatever one aspires to do or engage with, in life. Nothing can be enjoyed (was very tempted to use the word "achieved", but then that means so many different things to different people) in life till one does immerse oneself into it. Even our day to day mundane work becomes so full of life, so very enjoyable, only when we are completely immersed in it. The "SIDDHI" or the ability to bring actions to results, does not happen till those actions were not performed, with all your heart, with complete immersion of oneself in the act.
How does Yoga bring about Yogyata then? Yoga itself means "to join", "to become one with"
Once the means and methods to engage ones 'SELF' with the subject, even if it is one's own body (example through Asana), is understood, Yogyata has happened in the individual.
AUM
