Current living conditions can be likened to walking on a rope. The same can be said of our mindset: one slip and our demonic thoughts (rage, in my case) take over. In fact, humans become more & more like demons the more the demonic they act; so in a way, we always have a "choice".
Yoga is when we take hold of all our thoughts, subjugate them, and make all thoughts our slaves instead. It can even be a skill.
Once we've accomplished mastering our minds, then you are a Master of Demons.
Or King of Demons.
Also,
Sanskrit interacts with the DNA directly. Patanjali "the Yoga Teacher" transformed his own body and made his legs become the coil of a snake; he wanted to stop stepping on insects/organisms.
