Sa tu dirgha-kala-nairantarya-satkarasevito drdha-bhumih
- Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras I.14
Moreover, that practice has a firm ground when attended to for a long time, without interruption, and with devotion to truth.
In the Yoga Sutras Patanjali states, "Sa tu deerghakaala nairantarya satkaara sevito dreedhabhoomih" - practice becomes perfect with continuity, regularity and conviction. So yoga teaches patience, restraint and how to live harmoniously.
It is reminded by Pattabhi Jois that these benefits come with consistent practice over a long period of time! In yoga terms this would be called durga kala (very long time) and nairantarya (without break).
