| 有时，练习瑜伽的人们会以自己能够自如地弯曲、扭转身体来完成更高级的瑜伽姿势而自豪。他们常喜欢炫耀自己的技巧或在练习中与人比试。但是这样寻求他人赞赏的想法反而暴露他们急于求成的心态和妄自尊大的骄傲
– 并非真正瑜伽士的表现。
真正的瑜伽士是谦卑的。他们可能并不能做到极端的弓背或高级的平衡姿势；事实上，他们也许根本不练习瑜伽姿势。因为他们已经通过瑜伽冥想获得了内心的安宁和平静，他们由此到达了瑜伽的更高境界。
我们必须时常注意以免产生骄傲的思想，因为这会影响我们向真正的瑜伽精神进步。在通往瑜伽的路上毕竟还是要脚踏实地，逐步前进，而且我们应当心怀谦恭地走过去，如果我们想要获得永恒的内心安宁和真正的幸福。
A True Yogi
Sometimes people who practice yoga become proud
of their ability to bend and twist their bodies into advanced yoga
postures. They like to show off their skill or they may be quite
competitive in their practice. But this desire for recognition reveals
an agitated mind and a sense of false pride—not the signs of a real
yogi.
True yogis are humble. They may not be doing extreme
backbends or advanced balancing poses; in fact, they may not be
practicing asanas at all. But because they have achieved inner peace
and calm through meditation, they have attained yoga’s higher goal.
We must be ever-watchful against falling
into this prideful consciousness as it will prevent us from advancing
in the true spirit of yoga. After all, there are many steps on the
yoga path, and we must make the journey with humility if we want
to achieve lasting inner peace and true happiness.
