When is it time to start yoga?

Describing the opening lines of this phenomenal work, Sadhguru says, “When Patanjali wrote this great document on life, he started in a strange way. The first chapter was just half a sentence: “And now, yoga.” What he meant by this is – if you did the kind of job you wanted to, you got the kind of money you needed, you even got the kind of wife or husband you liked, but still you feel empty, the time for yoga has come. But if you still believe that everything will be okay by building a new house or getting another kind of job, it is not yet time for yoga. When you have seen everything and you know none of it will really fulfil you, once you have gotten to this point, ‘And now, yoga.’”

I have realized this to some extent. I should be grateful!
