The Qualities Of A Seeker

On the path of self-improvement, one needs patience, enthusiasm, cheerfulness, and spiritual passion

- Dr. Jayadeva Yogendra

Practice makes a man perfect,” is true of yoga “studies too. In fact, the role of perseverance is pivotal here. After stalling the flow of one’s biological and psychological energy from getting dissipated in mundane objectives, one has to direct it to better purposes.

There is thus a great need for holding on to the first inspirational state that arises within us occasionally, to pursue the path of self-improvement. We are apt to lose heart when travelling this path of self-evolution. Long is the journey, and uncharted the path. It is, therefore, that we are recommended prolonged and uninterrupted effort. There is no sense of spiritual life that proceeds by fits and bounds turns into a drudgery, or is devoid of energy, strength, enthusiasm and cheerfulness.
