Yoga - As in Life, Follow the Plan

We make plans for our lives without trying to change ourselves when we encounter a new situation. As Paramahamsaji says, we do not have a contingency plan. These are the words that Paramahamsaji always uses. We act without a contingency plan. There must be a planning and preparation to face the situations that arise. If I go somewhere during the journey and it starts to rain, so there what happens? I'll need to bring an umbrella and a raincoat. If this plan does not exist, when it starts to rain on the way, then my trip is ruined.

There is a saying like, 'Dig a water well if you are thirsty, or forget the well, if it is not necessary.'. When we feel thirsty, we try to dig a well, but we do not follow the right procedure, we want to avoid certain stages which we consider unnecessary at present time. However, Yoga says, 'No. Think the approach you have to do and pursue it the right way, because life is too precious to be wasted on trial and error.. '.

In our lifetime, either it is sixty or eighty years, we have many things to do, not only on the outside and social field but also in relation to our own nature. We make plans for our life abroad, let's also plan our inner life. We make plans when we travel, we will also make a plan when we practice yoga. The planning has to be there, and that planning is already there. It's just a matter of following the sequence that has already been defined.
