The Buddha Says That You Can't Let Go of Your Perspective

Yoga is not an essential practice. That's just what you do until you're ready to go practice. Or your yoga teacher will become so obsessed with the technique, that they'll keep reminding you of it. And then after all, you get so into the technique that you forget completely what all that technique is pointing towards. An interesting thing is that you don't actually let go of your viewpoint. You see that the viewpoint is just another arising phenomena like sound. As soon as you come back to the breath though, you see that the sound and your thoughts about the sound just seem to dissipate because they're transient.
