Rising, sitting down, walking - in fact, any gesture taken up by the body - is called an asana. It corresponds to the rhythm and the vibration of body and mind at any particular moment. Some aspirants can meditate only if seated in the pose indicated by the Guru or formulated in the shastras scriptures and not otherwise.

This is the way to proficiency in meditation. On the other hand, someone may begin his practice while sitting in any ordinary position; nevertheless, as soon as the state of japa, repetition of a mantra or dhyana, concentration has been reached, the body will spontaneously take up the most appropriate position.

As one’s meditation grows increasingly intense, the postures correspondingly gain in perfection. When a little air is pumped into a tire, the tire will be flabby; but when it is filled to capacity, it remains completely stable in its own natural shape. Likewise, when real meditation has been attained the body feels light and free, and on rising after meditation there is no fatigue of any kind, no pain, numbness or stiffness in one’s limbs.
