Faith leads to virya. Virya means “strength, vitality, and virility.” Our inner strength, stamina, and endurance depend on our
access to the innate wisdom of our body and the immense power of our mind. Our faith in ourselves, in our practice, and in the
goodness that life embodies awakens both our body and mind and introduces them to a previously unknown dimension. As our conviction matures and our joyful state of mind expands, the body’s innate wisdom heals past emotional injuries. Our limbs and organs are energized. Our senses begin receiving nourishment from within. The mind begins taking satisfaction from a pool of inner elixir—contentment. Consequently, the fulfillment we seek through the senses begins to flow from within. Fulfillment from within enables our mind and senses to conserve our virya—our vitality, strength, stamina, endurance, and agility—for higherpursuits. The richer we are in virya, the greater the manifestation of our retentive power (smriti).

commentary from
Yoga Sutra 1.20
(In the case of others, it [samadhi] is preceded by faith, vigor, retentive power, stillness of mind, and intuitive wisdom.)

Yoga Sutra 2.1
Yoga in action is composed
of austerity, self-study, and
trustful surrender to Ishvara.
