Chapter 1.

In this connection, these are the words of Goraksha:

One should avoid the neighbourhood of evil men, fire, women, travelling and
also early morning bath, fasts, and other means of straining the body.

NOTE: The commentator explains why the beginner should avoid all these. By
bath in the early morning there is possibility of cold catarrh, by fast excess of bile.
Excessive strain (through too much of Suryanamaskara, too heavy weight - lifting
etc.) is also to be avoided.

To avoid stress and strain, a common feature of modern age, the Yo g i n has, in
advance, cautioned against such elements which cause such conditions. The concept
is based upon their knowledge of anabolic and catabolic activities, situations and
problems. The warning is mild and is limited to a few objects, although their scope
is wide and should have included a variety of other items. The limitations in these
particulars are suggestive of basic objection to similar items.
