Sthira sukham asanam

This does not mean ease in the asana alone. We need to have poise inside ourselves. Many a time this yoga sutra is incorrectly understood. Let us put our efforts for inner balance and not outer. The body may be the envelope of the soul but we need to nurture the inner being. Today hatha yoga is a fashion and a diversion for many of us. It is only one step in the path. We need to keep moving to the next step.
