The Citizen-yogi is the need of the hour

A good citizen has spiritually expanded; he or she can feel the suffering of fellow countrymen; and it finds expression in the feeling, ‘I have to go and help them.’

We have to create more such yogis in our society, not yogis who have renounced actions and live in the Himalayas; a minority of such ascetics is an asset, but a majority of such in any society will lead to decay. Citizenship itself is a type of yoga.

The citizen-yogi is more important today. We need millions of citizen-yogis.
