Yoga Sutra 2.47

2.47 “Perfection in asana is achieved when the effort to perform it becomes effortless and the infinite being within is reached.” 
“Prayatna saihilya ananta samaprattibhyam”.
The stillness in asana/postures comes through effortless effort. It is not found in the struggle but in the surrender.
We surrender all self doubt, all negative energies that would be an obstacle to our growth, and with the realization that we have always been perfect.
When this happens the person is no longer doing yoga but becomes yoga.
There is no duality.
In this we find our way to the divine that resides within us.
We find the infinite of being.
There can be of course many ways to reach this state of being but Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras offers a step by step guide for this journey.
When we reach this state of balance, the body and intelligence can merge in the seat of the soul.
And in this state we will find the end of suffering.
