Yoga, at first blush, had no place in a book on human relations.

Then you delve into this Oriental philosophy and find it is far more than an exercise of the body; it is a philosophy of the soul to help you get along better with mankind.

Yoga teaches more than the relaxation of the physical being; it is also of the mind and the soul, and has a place in the life of anyone who wants to go places on his own Main Street.

Yoga teaches, among many things, that you must not look for a return of your love, kindness or gifts to others; for if you expect a return, you are not truly a follower of Yoga. And that's a good philosophy for our daily business.

Other teachings of Yoga, applicable to present day living, include:

• Jealousy drapes love in chains.
• Outworn ideas are like ghosts.
• Strive for simplicity.
• Forego pleasures only of the moment.

All are mottos that would fit on any businessman's desk.

For you can readily see that this ancient philosophy can be today's common sense way of getting along with others.

Certainly, if we are jealous of others, we get nowhere in life. Being jealous is no way to gain a promotion, make a sale, with somebody over to our way of thinking; for jealousy is like a worn out idea, a ghost, that neither strives for simplicity, nor forgoes the pleasures only of the moment.

This story of Yoga can help you over life's bumps.
