From Jee:
For thousands of years, the primary objective of yoga has been to cultivate meditative awareness. This requires slowing down. To slow down we need to be able to wait patiently. Most of us who live in this fast-moving society do not feel comfortable when we hear the words "slowing down and waiting." Too often we get trapped by the allure of speed and are thrown off balance. In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna says to Arjuna "Yoga is Equanimity." Cultivating meditative awareness is to invigorate equanimity by being in the balance between effort and ease, control and surrender, knowing and not-knowing, and yin and yang. Pico Iyer expresses the beauty of slowing down into stillness in his poem. 

“In an age of speed….nothing could be more invigorating than going slow.
 In an age of distraction, nothing can feel more luxurious than paying attention.
And in an age of constant movement, nothing is more urgent than sitting still”
