=================================================================================================== Tuesday 26, May 2026, 05:00. Books The Yoga System Chapter 8: Pranayama or Regulation of the Vital Energy: 2. The Yoga System - 8.2.  Swami Krishnananda. =================================================================================================== In the beginning stages of pranayama, there should be no retention of the breath, but only deep inhalation and exhalation. The prana has first to be brought to accept the conditions that are going to be imposed on it, and hence any attempt to practice retention should be avoided. In place of the quick breathing that we do daily, a slow breathing should be substituted, and instead of the usually shallow breathing, deep breathing should be practiced, gradually. Vexed minds breathe with an unsymmetrical flow. Submerged worries are likely to disturb pranayama. One may be doing one's functions like office-going, daily, and yet be calm in m...

6. HOW TO INCREASE YOUR POWER OF CONCENTRATION Concentration can be done only if you are free from all distractions. A man whose mind is filled with passion and all sorts of fantastic desires can hardly concentrate on any object even for a second. His mind will be jumping like an old monkey.

04/11/2017 Spoken on February 11th, 1973) 10. We generally have a give-and-take attitude. When you perform an action, put a question to yourself: “What will it bring to me? Why should I do it?” This is a question which always comes up in one’s mind whenever one is asked to do anything. The action must produce a result, which means to say we are always accustomed to perform actions with an ulterior end or motive, and never in the spirit of karma yoga. Karma yoga is action which is an end in itself because it is spirit manifesting itself. The spirit is an end, and not a means. Now I am slowly coming to the point as to why spirituality is connected with universality. If the universe is the determining factor of every conduct and action of an individual, the individual being a part of the universe, and it being clear at the same time that the fact of the individual’s bearing a relevance to cosmic existence also implies the universal determining action, then the nature of the uni...
