The Ashram and its Yoga
I. Yogic Ups and Downs
Everything once gained is there and can be regained. Yoga is not a thing that goes by one decisive rush one way or the other – it is a building up of a new consciousness and is full of ups and downs. But if one keeps to it the ups have a habit of resulting by accumulation in a decisive change – therefore the one thing to do is to keep at it. After a fall don't wail and say, “I'm done for,” but get up, dust yourself and proceed farther on the right path.
