101
The worldly people want to meet God
with a heart filled with lust, anger, greed,
attachment, jealousy, hatred, sins,
unrighteousness and unacceptable food
habits. How strange! The people are looking
for the superior-most and the sacred-most
God in a filthy heart. How is it possible?
According to Gita, precondition for practising
Yoga is cleansing the body, mind, wealth,
thought, action, heart etc. Only a clean and
genuine heart deserves yoga. So long as the
senses are leaning towards their objects, the
mind is indulging in pleasures, there is
attachment to the worldly pleasures, there is
still desire for going for pleasures and the
mind is filled with passions, the mind will not
be able to head for the genuine yogic mental
training. In order to get success in Yoga, we
will have to inculcate in the mind an aversion
to worldly pleasures, to enable it to keep away
from the attraction of those pleasures.
