Yoga vs. Depression
Yoga is to realize that your mind is dynamic, your life is dynamic. Depression is a sign of static understanding about life. When you feel everything in life is dead, static, there is nothing more, nowhere to go---that is when one gets depressed.

The world is not a dead place
the creation is not a dead place. It is solidified consciousness, and it is dynamic. And it is new.

The mind has promised you heaven, but it is taking you to hell. You have been chasing the mindyoure trodding behind it. It increases the hunger and thirst in you by giving a little glimpse of it.

As a servant, one can burn, vanish, dissolve. Another, as beloved
here are only two relationships in which the mind can mind can burn, vanish, and dissolve---that is, surrender. And these two types of relationships: one is of servant, being a servant

Servant and Master
Being a servant is not being a slave, but being a servant is living the dignity of the Master, dissolving into the Master.
