Karma Yoga - Self-Discipline
Yoga requires self-discipline. As we practice yoga we discover that what we thought was reality is just an illusion and our real world exists in our mind. While we have no control over the world of the senses, we can exert great control over our own minds. See Karma Yoga - Self-Discipline.
