Essence of Yoga is journey of self knowing. In the journey of Self Knowing, yoga sees various sheaths of human body( physical , mental , emotional, intellectual, spiritual) as key contributors. Yoga sees Physical and non-physical parts of human life as gross and subtle aspects of same picture. Another key aspect in yogic perspective, is urge of seeking the true nature of Self. Mind is considered to be hosting an illusive force which causes deception of self identity, called Maya. Yoga shows the way to transcend this illusive Maya, and realizes one's true nature.

Adi Shankaracharya's perspective on life, is that the ultimate reality is Brahman (the one, absolute, non-dual consciousness) and the individual soul (Atman) is identical to Brahman. The perceived world and the self's separateness are an illusion (Maya) caused by ignorance (Avidya). True liberation (Moksha) is achieved by realizing this oneness through self-inquiry (Atma Vichara), knowledge (Jnana), and the dissolution of the ego and ignorance.   

Stoicism is focused on living a virtuous life by using reason to cultivate inner peace and wisdom, accepting what you can't control, and focusing on your own actions and attitudes. It teaches that true happiness comes from developing your character through virtues like justice, courage, temperance, and wisdom, rather than from external events or possessions.

Tao knowledge in simple terms is understanding and living by the "Tao" or "Way" of the universe, which is the fundamental, unexplainable source of all things and the natural flow of life. It involves living in harmony with this natural flow through actions like cultivating humility, purity, and compassion, and by embracing effortless action (acting without trying) and the balance of opposing forces. 

Carl Jung's philosophy on life is centered on individuation, the lifelong process of integrating your conscious and unconscious self to become a whole, unique person. In simple terms, he believed life's meaning is to discover your true potential by facing your inner darkness (the "shadow"), accepting life's complexities and paradoxes, and making conscious choices to shape your own path rather than being controlled by external circumstances or past events

Socrates's philosophy centers on the belief that "the unexamined life is not worth living," encouraging constant self-reflection and questioning to pursue truth, justice, and the good life. He used his Socratic Method, a form of dialogue and persistent questioning, to expose ignorance in others and help them discover knowledge and virtue within themselves. His core idea was that virtue is knowledge; if people truly understood what was good, they would always act virtuously, and people do bad things out of ignorance rather than malice.
