How to incorporate the eradication of egoism into the yoga and meditation practice or the yoga and meditation classes?

The yoga and meditation classes, and the teachers who teach the yoga and meditation classes are not emphasizing on the specific type of yoga and meditation practice of particular name and form. It's just simply a particular type of yoga and meditation technique and practice, and not emphasizing on the possibility of specific type of effects or physical and mental enhancement and benefits, as all and everyone has different physical and mental condition and limitation in different timing, that has different reaction towards the similar type of practice, where the fruit of practice might be very different among the different practitioners, and the goal of the yoga and meditation classes and the yoga and meditation practice are not about attaining or enjoying the side-effects of momentary physical and mental enhancement and benefits of the yoga and meditation practice at all. But it's going beyond or renouncing all kinds of side-effects of the yoga and meditation practice. It's about incorporating the eradication of ignorance, egoism, impurities and restlessness into the practice, to weaken and eliminate the idea of 'I' and the passionate desires and aspirations, to be rendering the mind calm and purified, preparing the mind for self-inquiry and deep meditation, to attain self-realization.

Someone who is learning and practicing certain type of yoga and meditation practice might have the opportunity to be teaching yoga and meditation practice to some others, but can be without attachment, identification, desire of craving and aversion, comparison, judgment, intention or expectation towards the action and the fruit of action of learning, practicing and teaching certain type of yoga and meditation practice, allowing the action and the fruit of the action of learning, practicing and teaching being there as it is, and being what it is. Without the need of giving positive encouragement and motivational compliment to the students emphasizing on the impermanent enhancement of the physical and mental ability and achievement as well as on the momentary side-effects or benefits of the practice, which is nothing but empowering the egoism of attachment, identification, desire of craving and aversion, comparison, judgment and expectation in the students. And all are impermanent.

Someone who is suffering from certain kind of physical illness, or physical injury, or physical limitation, or mental problem and blockage, or emotional disturbance can be learning and practicing the yoga and meditation practice under the correct understanding and right effort, where there's no attachment, identification, desire of craving and aversion, comparison, judgment and expectation towards the impermanent condition of the physical body and the impermanent states of the mind, the existence of certain physical, mental or emotional suffering, the action and the fruit of action of learning and performing the yoga and meditation practice, allowing the action and the fruit of action being what it is. There's no expectation towards the yoga and meditation practice will bring certain type of physical or mental enhancement or benefits, or will bring certain relief or recovery from the existing physical, mental and emotional suffering in one's body and mind, while allowing the effects of the practice to be there, or not, and allowing impermanent changes to be there as they are, and accepting the reality in the present moment now as it is, and it is impermanent, and changing. Even if some others who are performing the same practice, in the same timing, under the same teacher, might be experiencing and reacting towards the effects of the practice differently from oneself, and it's okay, letting go all kinds of comparison, judgment and expectation.

Under such correct understanding and right effort, even if the practitioner has been performing the yoga and meditation practice diligently and regularly for many years, but the existing physical, mental or emotional suffering might still be there and worsening, or there are even more other forms of suffering arise in the body and mind, while some others might be gaining certain relief or recovery from the similar suffering from performing the similar practice, but then, the mind understands towards selflessness and impermanence, void of attachment, identification, desire of craving and aversion, comparison, judgment and expectation, the mind is not being determined or disturbed by the presence, or the worsening, or the continuous existence of certain suffering, but just doing one's best to be performing necessary actions, while allowing the fruit of actions being what it is, and the mind is okay under any circumstances, conditions and situations. And all are impermanent.

There's no craving towards certain pleasant, desirable and agreeable experiences, connection, interaction, condition and situation. There's no aversion towards certain unpleasant, undesirable and disagreeable experiences, connection, interaction, condition and situation. Without being determined or over-powered by the existing suffering or the disturbed states of mind. Without denying, suppressing or pushing away, but just by being aware and acknowledging, without judgment and expectation. That is what yoga and meditation practice is about. That is what silence and mindfulness is about. That is liberation.

Inquire the truth of everything.
