Our personality and asanas

We are born with certain traits and the rest is a product of the family and environment- friends, relatives etc. Practising asanas and pranayama cannot change these.We need a conscious awareness to remove these unwanted weeds and leave the healthy material to help us progress on the spiritual path.
Put differently- asanas and pranayama are not the way to realization. The reason I mention this is many sadhakaas believe that asanas and pranayama alone are enough for progress. This is erroneous. Unless we cultivate love for God we cannot progress.Ultimately, Love is the tool for progress. Little else is needed.
