Karma is cause and effect. Dharma means cosmic law.

Yoga is enlightenment through movement and Tao is the

practice of acting in harmony with the fundamental essence

of everything you encounter.

‘Catching the Brass Ring’ seems to be an old idiom from the 19th century

- without clear provenance: meaning to strive for the highest prize.

However when I was a child if you were on the outside jumper (maybe a

horse on a carousel) you could stretch to reach metal rings.

If you caught the brass ring you earned a free ride on the carousel.
