The need of the hour is for a symbiotic relationship between yoga and modern science. To satisfy this need, living human bridges combining the best of both worlds need to be cultivated. It is important that more dedicated scientists take up yoga and that more yogis study science, so that we can build a bridge between these two great evolutionary aspects of our civilization. Yoga is all about becoming “one” with an integrated state of being. Yogopathy, in contrast, is more about “doing” than “being.” When viewed from this holistic perspective, yoga can never really be an intervention, as this role must be left to yogopathy. We, as yoga practitioners, teachers, researchers, and therapists, must make a sincere and determined attempt to strengthen that one important link in the chain of yoga, the link of our personal, “every moment practice” (sadhana). This is imperative, for the very strength of the “chain of yoga” depends on it. We write about this further in Chapter 5.
