During those few moments of talk it was evident that you had gone into the Yoga literature thoroughly and have been practising regularly. To know yoga is not to read them; to know yoga practice is the way. Be regular. Be sincere. Be cheerfully consistent. Let the karmendriyas work out their prarabdha.
But mentally learn to detach yourself and ever remain the Great Witness of all the outer world of things and the inner world of emotions!! By regular abhyas make it a second nature to perform Ajapa japa of some Ishta Devata. Choose any Satwic God – Krishna, Rama, Shiva, Ganesh etc. Chant His name always – be you in work, walking, relaxing – in sorrow, in joy or in any other circumstance.
May we keep on writing to each other? Chinmaya is thy Sewak – he is like a drum – beat him and have his Rhythm!!
With prem, pranams and Om Namasivaya.
