In some of the early texts, the yogis that are mentioned are not necessarily the clean-living, health-conscious and physically toned practitioners we would recognize by that word today. The holy itinerants who practised yoga, generally known as sadhus, seem to have been raggle-taggle gypsies who wandered the earth freely, unshackled by convention and in pursuit of spiritual ecstasy, which they would get wherever they could find it.
Nothing works like practising patience when dealing with difficult people or situation. To practice patience is to hold back when you want to say something nasty or feel overpowered by someone's irritable presence. But holding back creates a pressure-cooker situation where you keep stuffing anger within.
Sankalp is a personal vow - a firm resolve to achieve something or to follow a specific path. An understanding of the motivation behind your "Sankalp" is necessary. If your resolution is only dealing with cosmetic changes in your life, it may not uphold the work, time, and energy needed to accomplish the same. However, if a Sankalp's inspiration is rooted in a yearning to change your life for the better, then all the grind needed to see through your resolution seems worth it.
Why we fracture life into silos like "wordly" and "spiritual." This segregation creates a deep distortion, limiting our time and ability to find genuine fulfillment.

We may be tempted to think that our goal is to eliminate the static or the fluctuation in the consciousness to experience peace or stillness that are the qualities of pure consciousness.
