Acharya Haribhadra has written that the whole business of religion is yoga.
It is a round-the-clock practice of meditation. Mindfulness means the union of the mind with the action of the moment.
We find it difficult to achieve this union. We do something and our mind is elsewhere. While counting the beads, we keep thinking of the breakfast. While listening to the discourse, the mind is preoccupied with some matter of business. The mind wanders all the time. The mind moves in one direction and the body moves in a different direction.
The breach between the mind and the body constitutes irreligion. This is the opposite of samadhi; it is restlessness.
The union of the mind and the body constitutes mindfulness, samadhi and religion.
~~Acharya Mahapragya
