If you truly want to follow the path and practice yoga, you must not do it for appreciation or honour, you must do it because it is an imperative need of your being, because you cannot be happy in any other way. Whether people appreciate you or do not appreciate you, it is of absolutely no importance. You may tell yourself that the farther you are from men, foreign to the ordinary of being, the less people will appreciate you, quite naturally, because they will not understand you. And I repeat, it has absolutely no importance.
True sincerity consists in advancing on the way because you cannot do otherwise, to consecrate yourself to the Divine Life, because you cannot do otherwise, to seek to transform your being and come out into the light because you cannot do otherwise, because it is the purpose of your life.
When it is like that you may be sure that you are on the right path.
