Spirituality and Asanas

Some of us may be good at standing poses and some at all others. Nevertheless these are not necessary to help us focus on higher levels. Yet keeping our limbs fit and agile and weight under control we need to have our priorities right. We cannot lay claim to being omnipotent while in an asana. God wants our heart, not our bodies. He wants our sincerity, not perfection in the physical. The physical is always prone to problems and hence perfection there is not a sensible approach. Without going overboard, we need to keep our mind always God centered. We need to remember that Lord Krishna has said in the Gita- Higher than the yogi is he who surrenders to Me- he is a maha yogi, So strive O Arjuna to be a maha yogi.
