"You assert yourself to be what you are not and deny yourself to be what you are....A Prince who believes himself to be a beggar, can be convinced conclusively in one way only: he must behave as a prince and see what happens. Behave as if what I say is true and judge by what happens. All I ask is the little faith needed for making the first step. With experience will come confidence and you will not need me anymore. I know what you are and I am telling you. Trust me for awhile.
The body and mind are only symptoms of ignorance, of misapprehension. Behave as if you were pure awareness, bodiless, mindless, spaceless and timeless, beyond "where" and "how". Dwell on it, think of it, learn to accept its reality. Don't oppose it and deny it all the time. Keep an open mind at least. Yoga is bending the outer to the inner. Make your mind and body express the real which is all and beyond all. By doing you succeed, not by arguing." ( Pg. 256 )
