First make your body a Yogic body. Use a little bit of kriya. Spend at least half an hour every day in the morning doing Surya Namaskar or a kriya. Work out your body with a little yoga. You will see that your mind automatically makes peace with your body.

I don’t want you to make peace with just the mind and not with the body. No. Then you will be like a pumpkin, and struggling to make peace! You can’t make peace with a pumpkin. So do a little yogic work on you. A yogic body naturally inspires a Vedic mind. Do a little yoga as part of your life.

Practice

Perform Surya Namaskar daily. Between 4:30 a.m. and 6 a.m. is the best time. Start performing Surya Namaskar up to twelve times daily, after some stretches and warm up. Then increase the number to the best of your capacity.
