==Habit==
The physical is the slave of certain forces which create a habit and drive it through the mechanical power of the habit. So long as the mind gives consent, you do not notice the slavery; but if the mind withdraws its consent, then you feel the servitude, you feel a force pushing you in spite of the mind’s will. It is very obstinate and repeats itself till the habit, the inner habit revealing itself in the outward act, is broken. It is like a machine which once set in motion repeats the same movement. A quiet persistent aspiration will bring ‘you to the point where the habit breaks and you are free. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/sabcl/24/transformation-of-the-physical-i#p65</ref>

==Harmony==
A cosmos or universe is always a harmony, otherwise it could not exist, it would fly to pieces. But it is a harmony in evolution in progress- that is, all is combined to strive towards a goal which is not yet reached, and the object of your yoga is to hasten the arrival to this goal.

==Hatha Yoga==
The chief processes of Hatha Yoga are ''āsana'' and ''prāṇāyāma''. By its numerous āsanas or fixed postures it first cures the body of that restlessness which is a sign of its inability to contain without working them off in action and movement the vital forces poured into it from the universal Life-Ocean, gives to it an extraordinary health, force and suppleness and seeks to liberate it from the habits by which it is subjected to ordinary physical Nature and kept within the narrow bounds of her normal operations. In the ancient tradition of Hatha Yoga it has always been supposed that this conquest could be pushed so far even as to conquer to a great extent the force of gravitation. By various subsidiary but elaborate processes the Hatha Yogin next contrives to keep the body free from all impurities and the nervous system unclogged for those exercises of respiration which are his most important instruments. These are called prāṇāyāma, the control of the breath or vital power; for breathing is the chief physical functioning of the vital forces. ''Prāṇāyāma'', for the Hatha Yogin, serves a double purpose. First, it completes the perfection of the body. The vitality is liberated from many of the ordinary necessities of physical Nature; robust health, prolonged youth, often an extraordinary longevity are attained. On the other hand, prāṇāyāma awakens the coiled up serpent of the Pranic dynamism in the vital sheath and opens to the Yogin fields of consciousness, ranges of experience, abnormal faculties denied to the ordinary human life while it puissantly intensifies such normal powers and faculties as he already possesses. These advantages can be further secured and emphasised by other subsidiary processes open to the Hatha Yogin. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/23/the-systems-of-yoga#p9</ref>
==Heart==
The seat of two powers, in front the higher vital or emotional being, behind and concealed the soul or psychic being.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/sabcl/22/planes-and-parts-of-the-being-xiii#p11</ref>
The heart in this yoga should in fact be the main centre of concentration until the consciousness rises above. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/sabcl/23/sadhana-through-love-and-devotion-iii#p2</ref>
