You take up the spiritual path
only when you feel you cannot do otherwise.
The whole purpose of the Yoga
is to gather all the divergent parts together
and forge them into an undivided unity.
To do yoga you must want it consciously,
you must know what it is, to begin with.
You must know what it is,
you must make a resolution about it;
but once you have taken the resolution,
you must no longer flinch.
The day you make a choice -
when you have done it in all sincerity
and felt within yourself a radical decision -
the thing is different.
There is a light and the path must be followed,
quite straight, and you must not deviate from it.
You must know what you're doing when you choose it.
but when you choose it, you must hold on to it.
You no longer have the right to vacillate.
You must go straight ahead.
Once you have set foot on the path of yoga,
you must have a resolution of steel
and walk straight on to the goal,
whatever the cost.
