So What?

    This may remind us of the adoration and admiration we feel towards those practitioners who have
    mastered challenging postures.  So what?  There is no intrinsic meaning or worth in these postures,
    only in the effort and focus it took to master them.  One does not have a better practice nor are
    they a better yogi simply because they are able to perform advanced postures.  The ability to
    perform postures is ultimately limited by one's physique, the skeleton, the shape of the joints, body
    proportions, etc.  

    While we spend many hours striving to perfect our asana and advance to the next
    series, we must always remember that in itself it has no inherent value.  You can do fourth series?  
    So What!
