艾揚格箴言111：

In asana and pranayama practice, we should have the impression we are working on the outer to get closer to the inner reality of our existence. This is true.

艾揚格箴言112：

It responds to the exercise of our willpower, so that an intense aspirant will receive higher benefits than a mild one. There is a saying that "God helps those who help themselves."This is also true of nature.

When you do the asana correctly, the Self opens by itself; this is divine yoga. Here the Self is doing the asana, not the body or brain.

艾揚格箴言115：

There is no special spiritual discipline. When there is passivity, pensiveness, and tranquility of body and mind, do not stick, but proceed.Here the spiritual experience in yoga commences.
