Today, there is a competition between time and ill health to defeat man and win over him in which man seems to be losing. No one would have thought that staying fit would be so difficult...but I believe that what happened in the past has nothing to do with us today and what is happening today will lay the foundation of the future.
The most difficult step is not to get fit but more difficult than that is to take the first step which will lead us towards our destination, one step at a time, every day. We have gone out of our control and now, tired of the efforts being made every day, we have stopped and think why no injection is made which after taking will make my world the way I want it.
I am from India and here there were sages and munis who attained salvation by doing penance for years in caves, then time changed and the sages and munis lacked determination, as a result only a select few started reaching the highest peak of human consciousness. After a long deliberation, a solution was found which was called 'Hatha Yoga'. Under this, religious people have to force themselves to wake up. They have to do it even if they don't feel like it. If they feel like sleeping, they have to wake up and if they feel like waking up, they have to sleep. They have to take themselves to another zone. As a result, people came back and more people attained salvation.
Forcing yourself is not violence, rather it will first make you uncomfortable and then give you the results that you had dreamt of.
