I am the taste in water,
O Kaunteya;
I am the radiance
Of the moon an the sun,
The sacred utterance
In all the Vedas,
The sound in space,
The prowess in humans.
-Vr 7.8
Yoga is not a reclusive meditation in some distant mountain hermitage; rather, the hermitage is found in one's heart, and in the hearts of others.
The ultimate yoga for souls is to attain a state of full-heartedness — a heart that offers itself in unremitting, unconditional love in response to the divine yearning.
This yearning, the greatest secret of all, is pronounced as "You are so much loved by me.”
…The Gita insists that human life is meant for hearing this innermost song of the heart. It behooves souls to search for this song, and upon hearing it, to listen to the divine love song as it resonates in everything, everywhere, and at every moment
—to hear it through the hearts of all beings and in all of life.
This is from The Bhagavad Gita: The Beloved Lord’s Secret Love Song

Emphasis mine. Gender liberty ("prowess in humans") also mine.
