Observances for self-development

- From a Parisamvada by Dr. Jayadeva Yogendra

In yoga, there are certain very intelligent kinds of suggestions. One is related to observance; something that you consciously observe. That is how certain rules can get formed, certain routines can get established. There are many suggestions. We have to give credit to those who have considered these various observances because they had understood the human mind and they knew how the mind can be handled.
