Yoga and Pleasure
Satisfaction, and especially nervousness about pride, is one thing which
Hatha
yoga seeks to diminish or eliminate. We aren't advocating pride, but some will
select to consider delight a price anyway. To 1 who has been dejected because he
can't do his work correctly when he becomes tired, irritable, or haggard, any
diploma of refreshment could also be accompanied by extra levels of
self-respect. Moreover, one who has benefited from yoga may be moved to assist
his pals who are clearly in want; he may instruct others and be rewarded with
appreciation due a gracious teacher.
But if one succeeds in attaining skill which gives health and self-confidence,
one may justly increase his vanity simply by observing himself dwelling the
improved results as an achieved fact.
