तीव्रसंवेगानाम आसन्नः ॥२१॥ = tīvrasaṃvegānām āsannaḥ

For those who practice forcefully, in a very intense way, the skill of yoga will be achieved very soon.

AM

Woke up at 4:00 AM (Brahma-Muhurta). Practiced yoga all day, with minor interruption of going to the market for citric fruits.

Austerities:

1.    Restricted social interaction.

2.    Restrictive diet on track. Dropped experimental water-only fast on Fridays and settled on daily fast when no solid food is taken after lunch (one veggie juice at around 3-4 PM).

Study: Study of same spiritual books from same author, including summary, drawings and notes, continued. Read also Swami Shivananda’s “Kundalini Yoga”.

Additional Practices:

1.    Sunbathed and sun-gazed with closed eyes.

Breath Infusion: Practice of 30 minutes.

Meditation: Meditation on Naad for 15 minutes.

Dream recall: 2 dreams recalled. Conversation with the Acharya continued in a long dream, this seems to be a dream within my own mind.

PM

Strong prânâyâma practice for 35 minutes.

Meditation for 20 minutes on Naad was going good, but was interrupted by outside influence and went to the boondoggles.
