LESSONS FROM BHAGAVAD GITA – 58 As taught by Parama Pujya Sri Swamiji "To him who is moderate in eating and recreation, in his efforts in works, and in sleep and wakefulness, Yoga becomes the destroyer of sorrow." How can one attain perfection in Yoga? He who limits his activities including eating, moving, drinking, sleeping, keeping awake etc., to proper measure is a successful Yogi. There should be no unevenness of any kind anywhere. Diet and recreation should be properly regulated. Excessive talk and sleep should be avoided. Wakefulness should be practiced in due limits. One should also be moderate in the efforts in his works. Leading a life regulated in this way helps promote a healthy body and a healthy mind. He who follows these instructions carefully and practices Yoga becomes perfect in Yoga, which puts an end to all sorrow. New DSL Internet Access from SBC & http://sbc.
