02. MY REFLECTIONS AND DISCOVERIES.

I can’t find a definition of how far you can go by making efforts in yoga.
The main thing is harmony, the background joy from overcoming or accomplishing, that’s clear.

But you can also harm yourself by making an effort. For example, today you push, happy that you sat in a better pose, and tomorrow your knee starts to hurt. It turns out that you need to look at the consequences.

On the other hand, you can do it without such consequences, but with violence. I don’t want to, it’s not harmonious, but do it. Then nothing hurts, the consequences are perhaps a negative reaction. For example, it can be associated with some taboo, an indecent action.
Or you can force someone to do something, for example, clean up after themselves. Violence, yes. Then the negativity that they forced you. But you also need to clean up the trash as part of your upbringing. Or can I ask, what is the difference between (self)discipline and violence?

It can be done by impulse, by free will. Today, by free will, I sat in the lotus position. I planned it myself, achieved some result, but damaged my body. Still, it is violence, right?

Or you do something without the intention of pushing, but did not follow safety precautions, did not pull up your toe, sprained your knee. Still, it is violence?

So what is the difference between effort and violence?
