To him, God is all. This is the essence of self-surrender in Yoga. The Yoga discipline requires that a student should score at least the minimum marks in the test of the Yamas and Niyamas. Students often commit the error of neglecting these fundamental observances in Yoga and going to Asana and meditation directly. Many even begin to think that they are already established in the Yamas and Niyamas, while they have not mastered even one among them.
Meditation is the seventh stage in Yoga.
It is like striking a match which produces the flame. The flame must be there if the striking is properly done, and the matchstick is dry. But the manufacture of the match is a long process, and it takes time, though the striking of it is a second s work. That the effort of meditation does not bring satisfaction in many cases should show that the preparation is not sufficient. Meditation is a flow of consciousness, not a jump, a pull or push of consciousness.
