In Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2 Verse 48; Sri Krishna defines what is Yoga.
yoga-sthah kuru karmani
sangam tyaktva dhananjaya
siddhy-asiddhyoh samo bhutva
samatvam yoga ucyate
" Arjuna, do Karmas remaining in Yoga. Giving up attachment to the fruits, remaining steady and equal in success and failure. Such evenness of mind ( samatvam yoga )is called Yoga. "
With such evenness of mind, ones mind becomes competent to think and meditate on subjects concerning atma and paramatma. Thus by constant meditation without disturbance one realizes his self and his relationship with God. He thus realizes the greatness of God and begins devotional service ( Bhakthi )to him. By performance of Bhakthi, he gets liberation from bondage of samsara( repeated births and deaths ).
Such evenness of mind is expected not only to advance in spirituality but also in the. worldly life. We observe such an exponential demand for such qualified people in all fields of business be with in the corporate world or in Sports, education, politics ; wherein managing preassure with a steady mind and taking quick decisions has become a key KPI for all.
Thus we see how spirituality is a broader concept not restricted to just himalayan yogis but deeply relevant for the people of the so called modern world too.
