Even a stupid man can become wise by the continuous practice
Practice makes perfect through constant, loving effort, transforming even a dull mind into wisdom. Just as a rope, by repeated motion, cuts a groove into solid stone, so does persistent practice carve skill and knowledge. Conversely, indulging in blame and unhappiness moves one in the wrong direction. The choice is in our hands. A 103-year-old woman attributes her vitality to yoga, sharing her master's mantra: "Use it or lose it." Therefore, do not create an unpleasant atmosphere within yourself through your own thinking.
"Through constant, loving practice, even a dull-minded person can become wise and knowledgeable."
"Use it or lose it. There is yoga, do it."
