The yogi should choose a good place , away fro humans and society. Mostly he prefers to be near rivers and mountains. He should place dry dear skin and mat on it and meditate by sitting in padmasan or sidhhasan or sukhasan.

The liberated soul controls his body, mind and senses. He does not have any hopes and desires to fulfil. His only hope is to merge with the supreme soul; or God realization. his kind of sadhak prefers to live alone .

The yogi prays for all. He does not do partiality. He sees through the sinner and the saint. For example even a drunkard will teach you the life lessons. You just have to observe what he is teaching. A true yogi treats all equally. It does not mean he supports the criminal or crime or a cheater or a drunkard. He gives the wisdom to them with all compassion.

The person whose inner self is peaceful, one who is stoic in all the external things like cold and hot weather, one who is calm in happiness and sorrow is bound to be self realised. But it does not mean that the yopgi is not humble and compassionate. The yogi is compassionate for the entire universe.

The person who already wins over the mind, senses and body , for him or her the mind acts like a true friend. He is a friend to his own self. But the one who looses control over mind, body and senses , he is only an enemy to himself.

Bhagwan says when a sadhak leaves every materialistic thought and desire , do not get spelled by the senses and do his duty faithfully concentrating on God then he is called Yogaarudha.

SRI KRISHNA SAYS , TO ACHIEVE EXCELLENCE IN YOGA AND SADHNA , THE LEARNER MUST DO ALL WORK SELFLESSLY.MIND IS ALWAYS RESTLESS AND FULL OF DESIRES AND EXPECTATIONS. HE SHOULD NOT BE DIVERTED AND SHOULD CONTINUE TO WORK SLOWLY .

If you are a true yogi you will be a sanyasi.The true meaning of yoga is to destroy the thoughts and afflictions of mind. Your mind has to be clear, focused and there should be thoughtlessness.Karma yoga is to surrender yourself in front of God or Brahma.
