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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSample Verses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Yoga succeeds by these six: enthusiasm, openness, courage, knowledge of the truth, determination, and solitude.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuccess is achieved neither by wearing the right clothes nor by talking about it. Practice alone brings success. This is the truth, without a doubt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs salt and water become one when mixed, so the unity of self and mind is called samadhi.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe who binds the breath, binds the mind. He who binds the mind, binds the breath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCenter the self in space and space in the self.
