Also, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Chapter 1, verse 15 advises any sadhaka from being unduly touchy about rules. Swami Muktabodhanda of the Bihar School of Yoga interprets this verse in his translation of the text thus: "Sadhana is not dependent on social morals. Adhering to rules makes one narrow-minded. Yoga is meant to expand consciousness. Not limit it. A yogi should have a free and open mind."
