we mean by awarenessThat I am less in this element and more in that

This disease is due to this reason
I have to do this to overcome this problem
Due to my that activity I made that change in me or in him
I progressed that much after doing that practice
My yoga has influence over my regular life style
I devote that much time activity wise and in whole for yoga
I am careful to do it regularly

Nan koi khayal kisko aya

Nan mein kuchha mehsus karpaya
Baas yun hin karata rahata hun
Aur kya sochata rahata hun
Yeh time pass ka tarika hein
Kya soch mein duba raha hun
Na koi kuch samajh hi paya
(Just I am doing that yoga activity
