Understanding when mind is stilled prana (life force) flows intelligently.

“As a temple or a church is kept clean each day, the inner body, the temple of the soul, should be bathed with a copious supply of blood through asanas and pranayama. They cleanse the body physically, physiologically and intellectually. The body, having it’s own intelligence, develops its potential to change its behavioural patterns. It helps the sadhaka (student) to detach himself from sensual desires and guides him towards the holder of the body, the soul. Thus saucha (cleanliness, purity) makes the body a fit instrument for the pursuit of spiritual knowledge.” Quote Iyengars Patanjali Yoga Sutras commentary from 2,40. Om Shanti
