Yoga- PREPAREDNESS

Yoga is union of mind, body and soul. Preparedness is an important virtue of Yoga.

All men make mistakes especially if they plunge into an activity without knowing who is right or what is right. We may enter a street fight and later regret it. Many a times, we regret an impulsive action or spoken words in a situation because we were not prepared.

If one gets conditioned to do a kind of work, one does it better. Sportsmen condition themselves by running, bending and stretching. Any kind of warm up exercise prepares us to do the activity better.

Yoga insists on preparation through meditative postures.

Yoga - Faith

Yoga teaches us about many virtues that we know exist, but never really give them much time or thought. They are an integral part of our life.

Faith is an important virtue in Yoga. A man rises as high as his faith.
We must have faith in ourself, others, God, surroundings in nature etc. A man who has poor faith is perpetually anxious, disintegrated and ineffective.

In Yoga, 'FAITH' is an UPAYA or technique. One has to build it up. Doing things and succeeding helps. Nothing succeeds like success.

" Faith is a living Daring Confidence in God's Grace, so sure that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times."
