THE MYSTERIES OF MIND
The human body is extremely useful. But the practitioner need not always bank on the body for yogic purposes. Ultimately he has to abandon the body. What is, therefore, required is a balance between the use of the body and its abandonment.
You have to speak as well as remain silent. You have maintain a balance between the two in sädhanā. This applies to the mind and thinking also. Yoga is the striking of a balance. This balance kindles energy and stops its unnecessary expenditure. Inaction stops the waste of energy and brings about an increase in it.
The arousing of energy means two things :1. Acquaintance with one's inherent powers which are very
subtle, and 2. A balance between the sources of energy.
