It is said even God adores the Haṭha Yogī. But a Haṭha Yogī has no moha (attachment), no desires, no rāga and dveṣa." The lecturer continues teachings on prāṇa, explaining the three parts of prāṇāyāma and warning against premature practice of breath retention. He links prāṇa to nourishment, advocating for fresh, sattvic food and criticizing alcohol, old food, and cheese.
