Revatīnandana: "Arjuna said: 'What is the destination of a man of faith who does not persevere, who in the beginning takes to the process of self-realization but who later desists due to worldly mindedness, and thus does not attain perfection in mysticism?' "

Purport: "The path of self-realization, or mysticism, is described in the Bhagavad-gītā. The basic principle of self-realization is knowledge that the living entity is not this material body but that he is different from it and his happiness is in eternal life, bliss and knowledge."

Prabhupāda: Now, before coming to the point of self-realization, one must take it granted—that is the beginning of Bhagavad-gītā—that he is not this body: that the living entity is not this material body but that he is different from it and his happiness is in eternal life. This life is not eternal. The perfection of yoga system means to get eternal life, blissful life and full of knowledge. That is perfection.

So we have to execute any yoga system with that aim. Not that I attend some yoga class to reduce fat or to keep my body very fit for sense gratification. This is not the end of yoga system. But people are taught like that: "Oh, if you practice this yoga system . . ." That you can do if you undergo any exercise process, your body will be kept fit.

There are so many system of bodily exercise: the . . . (indistinct) . . . system, this weight-lifting system, this . . . there are many sporting system, they also keep body very fit. They can digest foodstuff very nicely, they reduce fat.

For this purpose there is no need of practicing yoga. The real purpose is here: that to realize that I am not this body. I want eternal happiness, I want complete knowledge, I want eternal life also. That is the ultimate end of yoga system.
