It is notorious that a single successful effort of moral volition, such as saying "No" to some habitual temptation, or performing some courageous act, will launch a man on a higher level of energy for days and weeks, will give him a new range of power. The emotions and excitements due to usual situations are the usual inciters of the will. But then act discontinuously; and in the intervals the shallower levels of life tend to close in and shut us off. Accordingly the best knowers of the human soul have invented the thing known as methodical, ascetic discipline to keep the deeper levels constantly in reach. Beginning with easy tasks, passing to harder ones and exercising day by day, it is, I believe, admitted that disciples of asceticism am reach very high levels of freedom and power of will. Ignatius Loyola's spiritual exercises must have producd this result in innumerable devotees; But the most venerable ascetic system, and the one whose results have the most voluminous, experimental corroboration is undoubtedly the Yoga system in Hindustan.

--- William James, "Energies of Man"
