Keeping consciousness steady in asanas

I can keep my consciousness unwavering in many asanas from start to finish. But this does not get me anywhere as this has nothing to do with transformation or being a better person. Even a gymnast can do this if they want to excel in that art.

It is important that we remove all our inner blemishes. Body can never be made perfect or free of disease. Only God can choose to be that way. Hence we need to focus on surrender. But this is easier said than done- this is more difficult than all paths. Then and only then are we a true devotee of the Lord. Perfecting the body or attempting the same does not lead us to God. The heart has to be pure- that is enough. God only looks at the heart. Not at anything else. If we observe carefully, saints in Indian lore have not got salvation through asana practice.
