The ‘Self-realization' through yoga is not philosophic.+

Yogic practices will not help in the path towards Self- realization.  The ‘Self-realization' through yoga is not philosophic. Every yogi who shuts himself in a cave is not thereby freed from thinking.

Panchadasi: ~ Impossibility of yoga arriving at a successful end to its practices.  (P.509 v, 109)

Yoga can lead only to temporary peace because the world is subject to change. Only Self- knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana can yield Advaitic awareness in the midst of the form, time, and space. 

Yogis say they control the Mind. They think the mind is an organ within the body. Thus, yoga is limited to form, time, and space, whereas the truth, is beyond form, time, and space. It is high time for them to realize the mind is not within the body, but their body and the world are within the mind.

Sage Sri, Sankara said: ~ Neither by the practice of yoga nor philosophy, nor by good works nor by learning, does liberation come, but only through the realization that Atman and Brahman are one in no other way. (1) VivekaChudamani v 56, pg 25

Bhagavan Buddha gave up yoga after practicing it for six years. He saw it could not yield truth.

Bhagavan Buddha gave up his austerities of yoga as impossible and useless. Thus, Buddha got enlightenment only after he gave up Yoga. (Page.70/71 "Buddhism in Translation” by Warren)

Unless one exercises his Buddhi ~reason--there is no chance of getting the ultimate truth or Brahman.

Buddhism has not proved the truth of Nonduality.  Advaitic Sages agree the Bhagavan Buddha pointed out the unreality of the world.

Bhagavan Buddha told people they were foolish to cling to it. But he stopped there. He came nearest to Vedanta in speech but not to Vedanta fully.

Only when we independently search for the truth without religion and its doctrine then we will be able to realize the truth beyond form, time, and space.

Those who have a firm conviction that yoga is final then they must continue with the yogic pursuit. The Path of wisdom is not for those who believe the Self is within their body. The Self is not within their body, but the Self is hidden within the world in which they exist.  :~Santthosh Kumaar
