Even a little... effort helps

Are you worried? 
Are you worried? 

Worried that 
Yoga isn't possible to me. 

Sadhana needn't be
To the fullest at 
Initial stage itself. 

Just start
Start with the simplest,
Like 
Artha - half
Padmasana -
Lotus posture.

Have you noticed 
When you do 
Yogic squat -
தோப்புக்கரணம்,
Simultaneously gently
Crossing your arms
And holding 
Earlobes? 
Don't you feel 
The stretch? 

Repeat the Sadhana -
The practice. 

Even fragmentary practice 
Has its benefits. 
To the extent of 
The practice, 
So you get a
Glimpse into 
The nature of 
Atman. 

The fear of death 
Is
One such. 

So long Atman is
Understood
This fear, 
Fear of death, 
Fear of any kind 
Cease. 

B.G.2.4
If someone gives something to the Lord, 
he is not the loser;  he is the gainer by a million times. 

नेहाभिक्रमनाशोऽस्ति प्रत्यवायो न विद्यते |
स्वल्पमप्यस्य धर्मस्य त्रायते महतो भयात् || 40||

Transliteration :

nehābhikrama-nāśho ’sti pratyavāyo na vidyate
svalpam apyasya dharmasya trāyate mahato bhayāt

Meaning :
na—there is not; iha—in this world; abhikrama—endeavoring; nasah—loss; asti—there is; pratyavayah—diminution; na—never; vidyate—there is; svalpam—little; api—although; asya—of this; dharmasya—of this occupation; trayate—releases; mahatah—of very great; bhayat—from danger.

Translation :

In this there is no loss of attempt:
Nor is there any adverse effect. 
The practice of even a little of this dharma 
Protects one from great fear.
