The yoga taught today in many fitness centres and gyms leaves out a number of key ingredients which have been tested for hundreds of years, and which have provided an effective plan for personal development. Instead of being grateful to Patanjali for having given us such a detailed recipe, we are casually dropping from practice some of his key points. In doing so, we are losing sight of the 37 ultimate goal and becoming obsessed with only a few of the techniques leading to it. If we continue in this way, the West may lose the essence of yoga and replace it with just another fitness regime for the body.
Yoga, by increasing self-confidence in our practice, enables us o extend this confidence into other areas of our life – work, parenting, social life, sexuality, sport and play. 55 10 Meditation In asana we work mostly on the gross physical body, and in pranayama we move inwards, working chiefly with the more subtle breath. The next move is still further inwards and towards even more subtlety as we begin to work directly with the mind. The breath has now become quite and still, and the mind has become more settled.
The Chandogya Upanishad also locates the Spirit in the heart: In the centre of the castle of the infinite Spirit, which is Brahman, in our own body, there is a small shrine shaped like a lotus flower in which there is a small space. We need to find out who lives there and we should desire to know Him. Why is it so important? Because this little space within our hearts is as great as the whole vast world outside. Heaven, earth, fire, wind, the sun, moon and start; whatever 35 is and whatever is not, everything is there, for the whole universe is in Him and He dwells in our hearts.
