The back of the brain


So my advice to you all is, "Practise yoga with an open mind. Keep your mind and heart like that of an innocent child." Then the creation of the things happening in the body, will surface for you to cognise. But what you do is to rationalize when you practise. Instead of this see everything from the back of the brain and not from the front of the brain. Act from the front of the brain and give time for the back of the brain to absorb. Then you realize that whatever you do, you are closer to divinity.
