The Yogi

The Yogi — Practical Guide — Practical focus

Key idea: The Yogi is a subject that benefits from practical habits rather than promises of instant results. Break the idea into small actions that can be observed and adjusted over time.

Personal circumstances differ, so the discussion should be treated as general information rather than a guarantee of a particular physical, psychological, or social outcome.

The Yogi

"The yogi who has cleansed himself,has gained mastery over his mind and all his senses,who has become one with the atman in all creation,although he acts he remains unaffected.


He who is established in yoga soon attains the Brahman.Anyone who successfully follows karma yoga becomes established in yoga.He who has become pure,he whose evil impulses have all been burnt away and become reduced to a burnt thread in which only the twists of the original material are visible,will act mechanically in everything he does.That of course does not mean that he pays no attention to what he is doing;it only meas that he has no egoistic feeling that he draws out will be as straight as that drawn by a machine.An unthinking person worked mechanically and the Lord's servant,too,does merely what he is asked to do.But he does not work for payment and,therefore,his work shines out,where as the hired laborer's work does not shie out as he works for money.No supervisor is required to keep watch over a Lord's servant at worl.Outwardly,he seems dull,but inwardly he ever lives in the Brahman.He will have all the vitues of a machine and none of its defects.Besides,the man who lives in the atman,who has subdued the demons in him and mastered the senses;who sees himself in all creatures and all creatures in himself,will make no distinction between relations and others.He will ever live as a servant of all, and will partake only of what remains after others have had their share.Of such a person it can be said,Kurvannapi na lipyate,that he works,but is not bound by effects by of karma
