Garudasana/Eagle pose. If you can't hook your foot in the classical standing pose of garudasana, try lying down!
"When you have provided a framework of regular practice within the structure of your daily life, you can leave it to the divine force to act in its own time. When divine grace comes, experience it, and go on working. If divine grace does not come today, it may come after twenty years. Even if it never comes, continue to work - at least you have attained health and happiness, and if health and happiness come, that in itself is divine grace.
If you put a seed in the ground today and say, 'In ten days I want fruit,' does it come? The fruit comes naturally, does it not? When the tree is ready to bear fruit, it comes. Even if you say, 'I want it, I want it!' it does not come any sooner. But when you think that the tree is not going to give you fruit at all, all of a sudden you see the fruit grow. It has to come naturally, not artificially. So work, and let it come or let it not come, but continue your practice. "
