At what point does someone begin to feel that 'I am going in the correct direction, that I am achieving some level of consciousness', or whatever you call it?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

It will be as obvious as a pain in the leg. So when you have a pain in the leg, you don’t have to go and ask someone, is my leg paining? No!
It is a personal experience. So the same thing will come up with you. You will feel absolutely at home, totally energized, like every cell of your body is vibrant with energy.

In fact, you don’t need a yoga teacher if you observe any kid. Every baby from the time it is born till the age of three, has done all the yoga postures, breathing, meditation, everything. So by birth we are all yogis. We have done it, but somewhere later on we just forgot it. We dropped it, that’s all. This is only going back to where we began.
