Is not hatha yoga necessary for the inquiry into the Self?

Devotee:  Is not hatha yoga necessary for the inquiry into the Self?

Ramana Maharishi:  Each one finds some one method suitable to himself, because of latent tendencies (purva samskara).

Devotee:  Can hatha yoga be accomplished at my age?

Ramana Maharishi:   Why do you think of all that? Because you think it exterior to yourself you desire it and try for it. But do you not exist all along? Why do you leave yourself and go after something external?
