Impermanence and selflessness
The essence or the core of the teachings and practice of yoga and/or buddhism, is about impermanence and selflessness.
Anything that has a beginning of coming into an existence of having a particular quality of name and form, that has a limited period of existence or limited life-span, that is constantly changing and decaying, and passing away, regardless of living organism or non-living object, is impermanent.
There's not a single name and form that comes with particular quality, is non-changing or non-decaying, that exists permanently, except the space, that is limitless, unconditional, substanceless, attributeless, beginningless, endless, birthless, deathless, changeless, timeless, nameless, and formless.
All and everything are impermanent, except the space, that hosts all and everything that are impermanent, that is not being determined, or changed, or contaminated, or increased/decreased by all kinds of impermanent names and forms that ceaselessly arising, changing, and passing away upon it. The space is still the same space regardless of how many, or how little, or void of names and forms arising, changing, and passing away, upon it.
Apart from being impermanent, all and everything are also selfless.
All kinds of names and forms are under going certain type of transformation transitioning into different names and forms, but there's not a permanent independent individual existence or infinite identity that exists within any name and form to be under going all kinds of impermanent changes and/or transitions.
There is no 'I' existing to be enjoying or suffering.
There is no 'I' existing to be under going ceaseless restless impermanent changes or transformations/transitions, of ceaseless births and deaths, or forming and disintegrating.
Yoga practice and/or buddhism practice exists as the tool that enabling the perceptive cognitive
intellectual emotional thinking and acting minds to attain direct
realization towards the truth of impermanence and selflessness in all
and everything.
Intellectual studying and understanding towards impermanence and selflessness, doesn't necessarily mean that the mind is free from the suffering deriving from ignorance and egoism. It's the direct realization towards impermanence and selflessness, upon the mind is free from the idea of 'I', ignorance, egoism, impurities, and restlessness, void of attachment and desire, upon the mind is being undetermined or undisturbed by the mind perception of names and forms, where suffering doesn't arise in such mind.
Inquire the truth of everything.
Do not blind-believing/disbelieving, blind-following, blind-agreeing/disagreeing, blind-practicing, or blind-propagating anything, including all the existing thinking, belief, ideas, values and practice in the mind, as well as all the teachings of yoga and/or buddhism coming from anywhere and/or anyone.
