Previously, yoga was, “A system of exercises to control our body, mental power and our emotions.” Our character is a framework constructed by ourselves, from the experience and exposure we gain. Ultimately, our purpose of life will be a battle between our own self and the world we live in. It is we who rule our actions and it is we who master our mind. Everything we do, is all voluntary and at our own risk. None are perfect, including us, and it is our duty to correct ourselves. Everyone acquire individuality and we ought to secure it. The actions we do and our attitude is all mastered by our conscience. A good mind is one which is telexed and eased out. How do we have a relaxed state of mind to conquer peace? We should concentrate our mind and soul in tranquility and harmony and discard any other outbursts, sorrow or anything else that is bitter. Such a focused spirituality will make us feel the essence of harmony and we will be relaxed. Similarly we should control our mind and not get attracted by the magnets of distraction. We should be true to our instincts. This will make us acceptable by ourselves and by the society.

A person’s character is judged by the companions he befriends. Similarly, people who practice and master yoga, say that, our motives will spread and influence anyone who keep in touch with us, by some passage of current, that arise in our body. If we are dawned by antagonistic and intimidating mind set, it will open up unfriendly motives among others who are with us, and will eventually affect them. In contrast to these persons, persons with positive outlook will extend care, kindness and harmony among those around them. Thus, yoga helps us to refine our attitude for betterment of us and people around us.

An ordinary individual will not be able to totally detach from outside world, and concentrate on one particular thing. But those who practice yoga can achieve that height. They can totally detach the outside world from their mind and themselves and can concentrate and meditate, without allowing other stuffs to enter their minds. It is through these principles of focusing our mind, that the Fauquier of India is eminent for their height of achievement. To make our process of breathing, ineffective a number of days in a specified time, hindering and restricting the heartbeat for quite sometime, parking ourselves on a bed of nails, unaffected by any means, are all a few consequences of the power of concentration, focused mind setting and a system of controlled exercises practiced. These achievements are of least importance for us Westerners. Rather, our main objective is to apply these principles in a pragmatic manner and gain from those practicalities of life.
