The subconscious identification with our misfortunes is so full that we refuse to part with them. 316) Either when the disease or misfortune runs its course, or when we reach the knowledge that disease is as good as health or misfortune is as great a blessing as good fortune, it leaves us. 317) He who refuses to part with a disease or misfortune invokes a value in support of it, a value of sentiment like loyalty or duty to something or someone. That is how the universe comes to us as values. 318) In giving up some habits, persons, and values after taking to yoga, we follow certain rules, codes, disciplines. We do not always follow the same practice in taking up some habits, taking to persons, espousing some new values. Nor do we rigorously follow those rules in repeating what we already possess as habits or character.
