The word is termed to Brahman. In Jain logic, the S'abda-naya is called the chief among the seven Nayas. The system of grammar depends upon the word. The power of the word is inconceivable, its feeling is inexpressible and unique.
This weapon of speech must be held under constant control and discipline. Speech should be free from ego, fraud and exnggeration or lies. The Yoga of the Body
Yogn is principally four fold:
1) the Yoga of spell; 2) the Yoga of equilibrium; 3) the Yoga of mental contemplation or Rajayoga and 4) the bodily Yogu Hatha Yoga. In mastering these four Yogas, tuo factors viz; constant practice and the teachings of a competent preceptor, play an important role. But, practice is the soul of Yoga because it is the sole means of mastering the fickle mind. And this practice brings about 1) stability of the mind;2) control of the breath; 3) acquisition of bliss and 4) self-realisation.
Practice makes one perfect. Your natural talent and endowments shine out through constant, repented efforts. Nutritive tonics impart health; spells give ploilets, super-natural powers; austerities produce achievements of desire; steady mind produces concentration and contemplation; rigorous devotion gives access to divine truth; prayer gives mental peace.
