😊💖🙏 #Repost @yoga_eva with @repostapp ・・・ ."Many students should try to know what real yoga is. To do this, the first yogic principle is to be true to yourself, true to others, true to your own practice, true in spreading your knowledge. Yogic knowledge comes from experience and it has to be allowed to grow day-by-day. Books are always references, but they can’t be your experience. If you read chitta vritti nirodha, it doesn’t then happen. For this you need to put effort. You need to do certain things. You have to follow a certain method. It doesn’t come from reading books. You have to create it. You have to develop it over a period of time. You have to put forth the effort and try to learn. Once you put effort, once you’ve dedicated to the practice, showing devotion to the practice, then the knowledge will come. Devotion is not forcefully had. Some religions force devotion. It should be natural. Devotion is compassion. Devotion is love. No one can force you to be compassionate. That’s a process that happens naturally. They are chemical changes within you. So that makes you see this world in a different way. This is the yoga process. It’s just being blissful. To experience the ecstacy, you’re not adapting any external elements. It happens naturally. The ecstasy is in you. People do drugs, but it’s artificial ecstasy. Here the whole experience is natural. It’s what yogis look for." - R.
