The invincibility of the practice and study of yoga

There is a big difference when you follow a rigorous and well structured sadhana and you undertake not to fail, to be zealous in your study, practice and observation of the yoga principles.
By ‘not to fail’ I mean to commit yourself to practice daily and for a long time, be it warm or cold, may your mind feel like doing it/adequate or not, may you have any doubts on it being convenient or not.
When one tries practicing this way –that is, by very often forcing oneself to practice-, spreads the mat and begins to practice and to study, one starts discerning the fruits and possibilities that the yoga texts and our teachers talk about.
I understand that we cannot consider ourselves yoga adepts if we are not internally committed to undertake regular practice and study. This is not possible. An intermittent practice will not give the expected fruits. If, for instance, you practice during 3 hours one day but you do not at all the day after because you consider you did enough yesterday. Or when you practice three days and then rest during another three days. Or even if you practice daily without following an organized ana adecuate program. This will not work. read more »
