Unlike religion, in which an individual may believe or not believe in something (regardless of its truth or untruth), yoga is a science; and as a science it is a quest to understand or know the truth as it is.

You are your body, right? You are chemical in essence ... right? At least, that's what one of America's most influential scientists claims: I am a collection of water, calcium and organic molecules called Carl Sagan. You are a collection of almost identical molecules with a different collective label.*Like Sagan, most people believe that they are their body. So if you ask them who they are, they think and respond in terms of bodily labels. "I'm Susan. I'm blond, 29 years old, a mother, and still 36-24-36!" "I'm Henry. I'm a white American male and proud of it!""I'm John. I'm a lawyer. I'm 40 years old and getting older every day.""I'm Alice. I'm a female student. I'm fat and I'm a Methodist." Name, race, age, sex, religion, nationality, occupation, height, weight, and so on-all these are bodily labels. Therefore if you consider your body to be yourself, you automatically identity yourself with such labels. If your body is fat and ugly, you think, "Woe is me! I am fat and ugly." If your body is 60 years old and female, you think "I am a 60-year-old female." If your body is black and beautiful, you think, "I am black and beautiful." But is the body really the self? Are you really your body?

A traditional number quoted for the number of gods and goddesses in the ancient Hindu scriptures is 330 million. As there is no record of any cosmic census, it must be assumed that is such an extraordinary figure is aimed at making a philosophical point - that the number of gods that man can create is infinite. For those who have little familiarity with the Indian philosophy, this might be interpreted as an extreme form of polytheism. But in reality, all the Hindu gods are manifestations of the one divine godhead - the Brahman.
