The Key to Purification

Civilization has created a lot of problems. The body of an uncivilized person is much purer than ours. The body of a wild person is much purer than ours; it doesn't have glands, because he expresses his emotions easily. But we suppress our emotions.

Suppose you're in the office and your boss says something. You get angry, but you can't clench your fists. What will happen to the energy that's generated? Energy isn't destroyed, remember that. No energy is wasted. If you cursed me and I got angry, but there were so many people there that I couldn't express it—I couldn't clench my teeth, I couldn't pull my hand away, I couldn't curse, I couldn't jump in anger, I couldn't lift a stone. So what will happen to the energy that was generated within me? That energy will cripple some part of my body. And in crippling it, it will be spent distorting it. A gland will form.

This is what I mean by glands in the body.  Many glands develop in our bodies. You might be surprised, saying, "We don't even know about such glands!" So, I'll ask you to do an experiment. You'll see, and you'll realize just how many glands there are.

Have you ever noticed that, alone in a room, you start gnashing your teeth loudly, or sticking your tongue out at the mirror, or glaring angrily? And you might even laugh at yourself, wondering what you're doing! Maybe you're taking a bath in the bathroom and suddenly jump. You'll wonder why you jumped? Or why you're gnashing your teeth while looking in the mirror? Or why you feel like humming loudly?

Let me tell you, one day, for half an hour a week, lock yourself in a secluded room and let your body do whatever it wants. You'll be very surprised. Your body might dance. Let it do whatever it wants. Don't stop it at all. And you'll be very surprised. Your body might dance.  You might jump. You might scream. You might attack an imaginary enemy. It can happen. And then you'll realize what's happening! These are all suppressed glands, present and eager to be released, but society prevents them, and you don't allow them either.

Such a body is home to many glands. And a body filled with glands is not pure; it cannot enter within. So the first step of yoga is body purification. And the first step of body purification is dissolving the body's glands. So, don't create new glands and find a way to dissolve the old ones. And to achieve that, it's essential to lock yourself in a room alone once or twice a month and let your body do whatever it wants. If you feel like throwing off your clothes and dancing naked, then dance and throw off all your clothes.

And you'll be surprised: after that half-hour of jumping, you'll feel very relaxed, very calm, and very healthy. This may sound strange, but you'll feel very calm. And you'll be amazed at how this peace came about. What's the reason for the lightness you feel after you exercise or go for a walk? It's because many glands are dissolved.
