The skill that matters

The skill that matters in the path of yoga, is not about the skill to be performing the many different yoga asana poses, or the breathing exercises, or the cleansing exercises, or the rituals, chanting and prayers, but it's about developing and having the basic correct understanding, mental and emotional independence, right effort, right attention, and right attitude towards implementing the essential teachings and practice of yoga in every moment that will lead the mind towards purifying the tool (the intellectual reasoning under a calm and quiet mind) and developing the skill (openness, free from the influence of worldly passionate egoistic thinking, beliefs, ideas, values and practice, and without egoism of attachment, identification, desire of craving and aversion, comparison, judgment, or expectation) to be performing self-inquiry inquiring towards the truth of names and forms (selflessness and impermanence, and/or what is 'I'), without blind-believing, blind-following, blind-worshiping, blind-agreeing/disagreeing, blind-practicing, or blind propagating anything, including the existing accumulated knowledge and belief/disbelief in the mind as well as the many different teachings of yoga coming from anyone or anywhere, as well as practically integrating the teachings and practice of yoga about the elimination of the idea of 'I' (the ego), egoism, ignorance, impurities and the restless modification of the mind (restless thought current or thought activities) in everyday worldly life affairs, activities, interactions, relationships, duties and responsibilities.
