瑜伽的第一阶段是持戒(Yama)。

要精通持戒,需要做到五件事:

(一)在思想、言语和行为上不伤害任何众生。

(二)在思想、言语和行为上说真话。

(三)在思想、言语和行为上不贪取。

(四)在思想、言语和行为上保持完美的梵行。

(五)在思想、言语和行为上保持完美的无罪。

圣洁是最伟大的力量。一切其他事物在它面前都要退缩。然后是体式(Asana),即修行者的坐姿。座位必须稳固,头部、胁部和躯体成一直线,端坐挺直。告诉自己你已稳固地安坐,没有什么能够动摇你。然后逐一想象身体的完美,从头到脚。将身体想象得如水晶般清澈,如同一艘完美的船,横渡生命之海。

向上帝、向世间一切先知和救主、向宇宙中的一切圣灵祈祷,请求他们的帮助。

然后用半小时修习调息(Pranayama),即悬止、抑制和控制呼吸,在吸气和呼气时心中默念唵字。充满灵性的词语具有奇妙的力量。

瑜伽的其他阶段是:(一)制感(Pratyahara),即抑制感官不向外驰,将其完全导向内在的心理印象;(二)执持(Dharana),即坚定的专注;(三)禅定(Dhyana),即冥想;(四)三摩地(Samadhi),即无相冥想。这是瑜伽的最高和最终阶段。三摩地是思想完全融入至高灵性的状态,此时人证悟到"我与父是一体的"。

一次只做一件事,在做的时候将你的全部灵魂投入其中,排除一切其他。

The first stage of Yoga is Yama.

To master Yama five things are necessary:

(1) Non-injuring any being by thought, word, and deed.

(2) Speaking the truth in thought, word, and deed.

(3) Non-covetousness in thought, word, and deed.

(4) Perfect chastity in thought, word, and deed.

(5) Perfect sinlessness in thought, word, and deed.

Holiness is the greatest power. Everything else quails before it. Then comes Asana, or posture, of a devotee. The seat must be firm, the head, ribs, and body in a straight line, erect. Say to yourself that you are firmly seated, and that nothing can move you. Then mention the perfection of the body, bit by bit, from head to foot. Think of it as being clear as crystal, and as a perfect vessel to sail over the sea of life.

Pray to God and to all the prophets and saviors of the world and holy spirits in the universe to help you.

Then for half an hour practice Pranayama or the suspending, restraining, and controlling of the breath, mentally repeating the word Om as you inhale and exhale the breath. Words charged with spirit have wonderful power.

The other stages of Yoga are: (1) Pratyahara or the restraint of the organs of sense from all outward things, and directing them entirely to mental impressions; (2) Dharana or steadfast concentration; (3) Dhyana or meditation; (4) Samadhi or abstract meditation. It is the highest and last stage of Yoga. Samadhi is perfect absorption of thought into the Supreme Spirit, when one realises, "I and my Father are one."

Do one thing at a time and while doing it put your whole soul into it to the exclusion of all else.
