Practicing the methods taught by the teacher(s) without attachment to the rewards seems ideal. Striving regardless of the outcomes will only solidify the yogi’s instinct for yoga practice in future births. The hope is that nature will facilitate the environment to continue the endeavor. Thus, a respectable posture towards nature and her demands are required in this system of yoga.

Admittedly it is impractical for me at this stage as a neophyte yogi. But I aim to reduce my desires and/or expectations and progress to my level of capability.
