Let us try to surrender to God- not yoga

Let us try to improve our capacity to surrender to God who is beyond all yoga. He stands as a beacon waiting for us to reach him. The only way we can reach Him is with a pure heart filled with love for all. No role for hatha yoga here. It does not matter if we do asanas or not. We surrender at times and mostly it is a conditional one! To make an unconditional surrender is arduous. Let us use all our energies to achieve this. Sure beats mastering physical poses which mean little when we think of a heart that has opened to Him and feels His love working inside.

We need to work on our mind and its content.

Mastering the body means little. In itself , it may be praiseworthy, but in the larger spectrum

of the universe, we need to delve deep within and this is more difficult than mastering asanas. Whatever the system of yoga that one may follow, asanas are only physical and cannot refine the mind and heart.

Prema yoga and not any other yoga

"There are some who are attracted by various systems or methods like hatha yoga, kriya yoga, and raja yoga which claim to help people realize the Self. None of these can make you realize God. The Prema yoga- discipline of Love alone can lead you to God"- Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba.

The heart devoid of Love is devoid of spirituality. Spirituality is not mastering poses or having a daily practice of poses - however alertly we might do them. The heart needs tendering and this needs removal of our inner blemishes which each one of us need be aware unto oneself.
