An Indian yogi named Svatmarama wrote the Hatha Yoga Pradipika in the fifteenth century C.E. Drawing on his own experience and older works now lost, he wrote this book for the student of Yoga. He wrote this book for you.\n \nSample Verses \n Yoga succeeds by these six: enthusiasm, openness, courage, knowledge of the truth, determination, and solitude.\n \nSuccess is achieved neither by wearing the right clothes nor by talking about it. Practice alone brings success. This is the truth, without a doubt.\n \nWhen the breath is unsteady, the mind is unsteady. When the breath is steady, the mind is steady, and the yogi becomes steady. Therefore one should restrain the breath.\n \nAs salt and water become one when mixed, so the unity of self and mind is called samadhi.\n \nHe who binds the breath, binds the mind. He who binds the mind, binds the breath.\n \nCenter the self in space and space in the self. Make everything space, then don't think of anything.\n \nEmpty within, empty without, empty like a pot in space. Full within, full without, full like a pot in the ocean.\n \nDon't think of external things and don't think of internal things. Abandon all thoughts, then don't think of anything.\n \n \n
