Yes. You must have sincerity, earnestness, faith, vigour and vitality. You must proceed
cautiously, step by step. Over-exertion should be avoided. The Yogic practices will give you
success if you observe Mouna, Mitahara and practice of Japa and meditation. Success in Asan,
Pranayam, etc., depends upon the constitution. There are different exercises to suit different
people.
If you want vigour and vitality, become a true Brahmachari from this very moment. Be
established in mental and physical Brahmacharya. Take Sattvic food. Develop Vairagya. Study
my book “Practice of Brahmacharya”. You will find practical exercises there for keeping up
Brahmacharya.
