Yoga is not a compete with anybody or to show that how great you are and how good you are in Asanas, Yoga demands respect towards each others.

I remember a incident of my study time, that time I was practicing yoga with my Master, Master has so many students, some students are very good and some so so. At that age we always like to compare with each others, Master always said Yoga need to feel, no need compete with others, everybody have their own body limits. But we never listened. One day one boy was so good, and showed Purna Salabhasana (Full Locust pose) and Master praised him a lot, in my heart I felt jealous and wanna prove that I also can do, that day whole day I practiced this asana to beyond my limits. i forgot my Master's words, and just in ego practice practice and then the very next day I showed to Master that I also can do, but due to jealous and bad intention I hurt my back badly. My master didn't speaks a word and left, and then next day he said Manu no need to show to others how great you are, or no need to compete with anybody, just enjoy your self practice and respect your Guru's words. Guru ji said "your effort was good but intentions are bad, and you were in ego, jealous, so bad things happened with you. if you practice with pure heart without any bad intentions then you won't hurt in future."

That day I learned a lesson that Yoga is a silent practice, need to respect your Guru Ji, and if you don't do so then automatically some bad effects happened. No need to compete yourself with others, just enjoy your practice and gradually you can achieve the goals of Yoga. Yoga need patience not aggression.

take pure heart and positive intention in the class, thanks everyone. Namaste.

Hari Om,

Manu
