What we really have to learn in yoga is to see that we are totally into that activity without bringing in the “I” sense, the desires, and the over-anxiety about the results. Basically, it would require trust; trust that there is a larger order, that there is a meaning, that there is a purpose, that we are a part of that larger process. This thinking is at the base. If we are uncertain, if we doubt, if we overthink, we cannot carry out any activity in the correct fashion.
