Whether you know it or not, you have an aim in life. Some people feel that there is no aim for their life. Still s/he will have one. S/he is not aware of it. That is all. Human mind cannot exist without an aim.
Aim of your life means your understanding about life. Some people feel that making money is the most desirable thing in life. They feel that making money will make them happy. Some others feel that being famous is the way to be happy. Some want to enjoy sensual pleasures to be happy. And very few people think that knowing the nature of true self is the most important thing in life. Yoga is meant for such people who are serious about their self enquiry and be satisfied only in experiencing the bliss of inner silence.
When you see that life is not just eat, sleep and make merry, you can put forward higher aims in life. On the contrary, when the needs of the body become desires and lust, they lead you to a value system which is destructive to the peace of mind. Making violent noise in the mind is the purpose of those people who want to make merry in the world. They cannot see the value of silence at all. Those who consciously discipline the self in order to develop an inner silence for the self vision and for the growth of wisdom, can experience peace ultimately. Only those who have realized the importance of inner silence are interested in practicing Yoga.
Yoga is meant for developing the skills of human mind in creating inner silence for the higher experience. He who has realized that the purpose of his life is to bring down the Chittavritti-s and to live in the inner silence for the ultimate Wisdom, will be ready to practice Yoga.
