Kriya - the yoga of action
"The practitioner will succeed; the non practitioner will not. Success in Yoga is not achieved by
merely reading books."
(Hathayoga-Prâdipika I.65)
Arjuna Said
"If you think that understanding is superior to action, Krishna, why do you keep on urging me to
engage in this savage act (of war)?"
"With words that seem inconsistent, your teaching has bewildered my mind. Tell me: what must I do
to arrive at the highest good?"
The Blessed Lord Said
"In this world there are two main paths: the yoga of understanding, for contemplative men; and
for men who are active, the yoga of action."
(3.1-3.3 Bhagavad Gita, Stephan Mitchell)
