In Yoga Sutra 1.14, Patanjali tells us how to make the Practice Perfect.
In Sutra 1.13,it was explained how one should go about practicing without bothering about the opinion and comments by the others.
Having commenced the Practice, one has to do it systematically and regularly to make it Perfect.
As in Life, practice is necessary to make anything perfect.
One man have a loads of Talent.
Only when it is fine boned does it become perfect
Practice is what makes Perfection.
We know that , sportsperson, keep themselves ready and raring to go, by constant practice.
This action of practicing must be regular and be uninterrupted..
Uninterrupted practice becomes easy when the Resolution is steadfast .
Those who have tried to do a particular puja would have noticed that it gets interrupted, making them drop it.
Hinduism anticipates this.
They believe that this, apart from the individual’s lack of resolution and laziness, is due to disturbance from the forces that tend to disturb the regularity of practice.
To ward of this,a Pooja has, foe every Maha Mantra like Lalitha Sahasranama or Vishnu Sahasranama, Anga Nyasa, Kara Nyasa.
This procedure ensures that the practice does not get disturbed by the forces , not in control of the individual.
One must, in order to succeed in Yoga Sadhana, Practice regularly.

Practice regularly.
