We have this word Aishwarya which means excellence. Infact, Aishwarya means the ultimate state of excellence. This is against the other kind of state of weakness.

Occasional excellence is one thing. You can drink and feel excellent. But excellence has to be more lasting. It arises as a result of an earlier build up of Dharma, Jnana, Vairagya. When one practices the techniques of yoga, one feels internally strong and confident. There are certain techniques in Hatha Yoga that can create these feelings for eg. Jalaneti, Sutraneti, Kapalabhati, Trataka, etc. In Trataka one is absolutely concentrated, one does not get disturbed by anything and, as a result of that concentration, knowledge increases and also confidence. Things that one could not do earlier are possible. So even in the techniques the possibility is there, but the objective is kept of reaching excellence. One need not compete, but there must be that inner confidence, that inner awareness.
