ABSTRACT
Posture is that position in which one is perfectly steady and at ease. The poised position of the body is a pre-requisite for quieting the nerves, inuscles, and the tissues of the body and for the composure of the mind needed to obtain yogic attainment. The ability to control posture prevents the student from being overpowered by either the pains or pleasures of the pairs of opposites. Through sustained and insistent practice of this control of the posture, the student becomes immune to the activities of the body and mind. Yoga will be attained by overcoming the normal tendency of the mind to react to impressions. The condition of mental repose thereby obtained is yoga or meditation. Fix a stipulated time each day for concentration. This hour of concentration should be rigidly and continuously observed with all vigilance as it is the price of success in all affairs, and adhering to it shows sincerity of purpose.
