A satsang discourse on the integral and demanding path of Haṭha Yoga.

"So, bhakti yoga cannot be successful without haṭha yoga. And then it must be what we call the real devotion. That is a test. The heart has to be very pure." The speaker explains that true spiritual devotion (bhakti) requires the steadfastness and discipline of Haṭha Yoga, using analogies of an airplane's smooth ascent and the steady flight of a swan contrasted with a noisy crow. He illustrates this with a story of a young girl, Karmabai, whose forceful and pure devotion compelled Lord Krishna to accept her offering, demonstrating that genuine love demands unwavering resolve.
