"In Haṭha Yoga, yogī... you have no fear, you have no anger, you have no anything, and you are divine in this world." The lecturer leads a discourse exploring the multifaceted definitions of Haṭha Yoga. He begins by describing four types of "haṭha" or willpower: childish (Bāla), feminine (Triyā), royal (Rāja), and yogic (Yoga), illustrating the last with a story of a yogi unmoved by Lord Shiva.
