Within the mind there are no limits - John Lilly
If you do not play the game of material and financial security - what else is there to do?
If you are not interested, or become uninterested in gaining fame and fortune - what is there to do?
If you were to become yourself 'completely' would you be any different to who or what you are now?
Do you enjoy your life? - I mean really enjoy your life . . . . . . . ?
Asana enables us to hold a 'serious' position with equanimity.
Holding a 'serious' posture for a period of time that makes us uncomfortable is an experiment with being uncomfortable - can we be uncomfortable and stay awake and grounded.
A problem is caused when we avoid discomfort. Life is an uncomfortable process 'sometimes' and in order to get what we 'think' we want we 'sometimes' may have to 'suffer' in the short term. If we don't posses that ability we may convince ourselves we do not 'really' want the thing we 'really' want and drop out of the long term plan.
Doing something that makes us feel uncomfortable in a conscious way can show us more about ourselves than 'doing' our favorite Yoga class with our favorite teacher over and over again for several lifetimes will ever show us, (in my opinion).
"It's not important to be serious, but it is important to be serious about what's important".
