Just the facts . . . .

If you are a yogi, you will get up in the morning and do yoga. If you are not a yogi you will do something else.

If you are a yogi, it is highly unlikely that you will drink alcohol to the point where you need to get drunk.

If you are a yogi it is highly unlikely that you will take drugs, either legal or not legal.

If you are a yogi you will be one.

Asanas practise is merely a preamble to meditation. Keep your ego in check and sit still for an hour.

The books of the Bihar school are very good books on the topic of yoga, especially 'Hatha Yoga Pradipika' and 'Kundalini Tantra'. If you don't bother to buy these books you may need to ask yourself. 'What am I doing?'

If you want to moan and complain and do nothing about it you are not a yogi!
If you still think it's someone else's fault, you are NOT a yogi.

Well it's harsh words from me today, but I'm only saying this because I'm a bit fed up with what I see as a poor substitute for the real thing. . . . . .

Having said all of that I wonder do we actually have any control over our destiny?

You are what you are until you decide otherwise, this I suppose is known as 'free will'. The power of choice to decide who you want to be.

BUT! When you strip it all away in the burning of your ego in yoga/meditation there is nothing to be. So what do you do then?

Try laughing !
