Why Yoga is better than Bhoga?

युग्यते इति योगः 

In most Hindu traditions and even in our daily experience, gaining something or coming into contact with something is yoga. To come into direct contact with the inner self is known as yoga in Hindu scriptures.
While Bhoga primarily refers to enjoyment derived from external objects that are temporary in-nature.



1. Long-Term Peace vs Short-Term Pleasure
Yoga brings inner peace, mental clarity, and happiness that lasts.Bhoga gives temporary pleasure, but often leads to craving, restlessness, and dissatisfaction.

2. Health and Harmony
Yoga improves physical, mental, and emotional health.Bhoga, when excessive (overeating, overindulgence), often harms the body and disturbs the mind.

3. Self-Control vs. Addiction
Yoga teaches self-discipline and freedom from desires.Bhoga often leads to attachment and even addiction, making us dependent on things outside us.
4. Spiritual Growth
Yoga connects you with your true self and helps in self-realization.Bhoga keeps the mind stuck in the material world, far from spiritual truth.

योगो नित्यं सुखदः पथः। भोगः तु दुःखस्य मूलम्।

Yoga is the eternal path to happiness; Bhoga is the root of suffering."

Yoga brings lasting joy, clarity, and strength.Bhoga gives quick delight, but often leads to regret or loss.So,choose Yoga — the path of balance,awareness,and peace.
