Contd., from previous one……

     The importance of yoga used to be owing to these commandments only, which are meant to make our behavior optimally scheduled for betterment regarding comprehensive matters as well as the personal matters. Practicing yoga only by way of holding body postures and breathing exercises, without pursuing these commandments, would have been simply surplus physical exercises and the holding of concept and performing meditation etc., would have been a useless affectedness. Knowledgeable ones used to have this opinion about whole of the yoga way to be having the epitome of these Ten Commandments which do concern both for comprehensive matters as well as personal matters. What can be more indicative for the betterment of civilization of universe as a whole in comparison to the indications of non-violence, truth, non-stealing the property of others, celibacy and non-acceptance of surplus/excess materials of the actual requirement—nothing. Similarly what can be more indicative for the betterment of an individual in comparison to the indication of cleanliness {both external and internal}, contentment and endurance through penance while behaving with others, studying the scriptures, having full faith upon Supreme Being—nothing. The practicing one who has followed these commandments in his life would definitely be achieving his ultimate goal of getting perfection in yoga there is no doubt about this. And those ones who used to ignore these commandments while practicing the yoga only through holding body postures and carrying out breathing exercises—as most of the yoga practitioners usually do—then they would not be achieving the requisite goal of yoga.
