When we talk about improving our, it should not only on physical improvement, but improvement of our personality, our whole being.
A poor man is not bad, just because of less money. He is bad because "maybe", he does not have the intelligence of how to earn; or he doesn't have a fit and healthy body; If he misses the attitude, the will and emotional balance.In such a case, the poor man to work on some or all aspects of his personality for a better life. working on just his health and intelligence is not always enough. He has the willingness, the correct emotion as well.
We all know that we have to have a balanced diet-the right balance of proteins, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins. With too much or too little of each of these nutrients will lead to an imbalance in the body and the disease.Also, our personality also the correct balance of emotion, intellect and physical parts to be fed.
Yoga has several branches-Hatha or Raja Yoga for body development;Guyana Yoga for the intellect and knowledge; Bhakti Yoga for faith; Karma Yoga for action and service.
This Yoga practices must be combined for larger results. Balanced yoga will lead to a balanced personality-an integrated personality-a personality with less psychological, emotional and physical problems.
Not just one aspect of yoga must be emphasised.
Too much of Bhakti Yoga will make a person fatalistic-"this happened because of God", "I couldn't sleep because of God", the grass is green for God's sake.It brings a lack of balance.
Too much of Guyana Yoga makes a person an intellectual. He would not do anything as it's easier to just sit and think. the person starts missing in other aspects of his personality.Emphasis on Hatha Yoga you will just make also body conscious.The personality will not strong enough to emotional and mental crisis.
The correct proportion of all aspects of the yoga is essential for a balanced and healthy personality. one must practice of 70% Karma Yoga (action and service), 20% Hatha yoga (postures and Pranayama), 5% Guyana yoga (Knowledge) and 5% bhakti (Devotion) for happiness and health.
Mothers can also start advising balanced yoga together with balanced meals to their children! Source
