This power of sustained attention can be cultivated by voluntary effort. All healthy methods of Yoga are designed to this end. An accomplished yogi must gain the ability to maintain unbroken continuity of absorbed attention easily, in the same way as an expert cyclist or swimmer gains the ability to manipulate his machine or to stay afloat easily without visible effort. With the mind not wandering after aught else, harmonized by continual practice, constantly meditating, O Partha, says the Bhagavad Gita (8.8), One goeth to the spirit, Supreme, Divine. In this process there occur certain biological changes in the brain which it is not necessary to discuss in detail here. This biological perfection is already present in the brain of the man of genius, the towering intellectual, and the born mystic. Gopi Krishna, The Awakening of Kundalini
