Yoga is much more than asanas...postures... a new awakening will come as your learn to meditate...

Yoga is much more than asanas .... postures....

"Day by day,  as you learn to meditate,  a new awakening will come....
The mist of silence and mystery which hangs over everything will slowly vanish before the dawning light of your mental and devotional search for God." --Paramahansa Yogananda

When the goal of life is attained, one achieves the reparation of all wrongs...

When the goal of life is attained, one achieves the reparation of all wrongs, the healing of all wounds, the righting of all failures, the sweetening of all sufferings, the relaxation of all striving, the harmonizing of all strife, the unraveling of all enigmas, and the real and full meaning of all life - past, present and future. "
- Meher Baba
Meher Baba (25 February 1894 – 31 January 1969) was a spiritual teacher

when the signal is given for you to depart from this fleshly house, you will have to leave everything...

"The divine man doesn’t try to justify himself. Great peace comes to such a soul. He is more immersed in what God thinks of him than what man thinks. God is the first love of his life; he puts no other gods before Him. Guruji said: “If all the world honours you and God does not, you are indeed poor; because one day, when the signal is given for you to depart from this fleshly house, you will have to leave everything. But if you have the recognition of God, you have everything; for you take His recognition with you to the great beyond.”
-- Daya Mata -- (Only Love, p158) --

Selfishness disappears when the divisible becomes one with the indivisible...

Bhagwan Nityananda- When we are little children, we do not know who our father is and who our mother is. When we grow up, we come to know our parentage. When a cock eats, it scratches everything towards it with its feet. Similarly, when a man's intellect is developed, he becomes selfish. Everyday men die; everyday men are born; but rarely do they burn their selfishness. Selfishness completely disappears when the divisible becomes one with the indivisible. From rice various kinds of eatables such as "Ambada" and "Halva" are prepared. These preparations are not called rice (The Chidakasha Gita)

those who always remain detached transcend karma automatically...

"The work without ego [feeling of I and My] does not create attachment.
Our great ancestors like Janak, Kabir, Raidas etc. and many others in recent times who were in the hot pursuit of Self-Awareness [Mumukshajanas] performed work without attachment and we must follow suit.
Those who always remain detached, transcend karma automatically [are beyond karma and akarma]. Detached work [karma] is devoid of ego [sense of doing]. It is this detached work which has been termed as KA...RMATYAGA [being free from work or shedding the work]. Performing the detached work is called VIKARMA.[4:14-19]
The word KEVALA or KAIVALYA is a specific stage in Kriya-practice which can be learnt only from the Rev. Gurudeva.
No sin can be imposed upon the practitioners of this kriya. It is only on attaining Kaivalya that one becomes NISHKAMA [free from desires] and is adored with the divine qualities of SARVAPARIGRAHA and PURNA CHAITANYATA.
It is this KRIYA which has been explained as SAHAJA-KARMA in the 48th shloka of the eighteenth chapter [4:20-23]
The phenomenon of merger [AHUTI] of five pranas [APANA, UDANA , SAMANA, VYANA and PRANA] with the main prana [MUKHYA PRANA] is called the great deed or karma [MAHAKARMA].
A sadhaka himself becomes BRAHMA when he learns this KARMA from the Rev. Sadaguru and keeps on performing it. [4:24]"

the quietness of the soul..... intensity of inner effort of the mind...

God in His infinite mercy gives to us His joy, His inspiration, true life, true wisdom, true happiness, and true understanding through all various experiences of our lives. But the glory of God is revealed only in the quietness of the soul, in the intensity of the inner effort of the mind to commune with Him. It is there that we find truth.-Paramahansa Yogananda
