Do not allow past experiences to be imprinted on your mind. Perform asana each time with a fresh mind and with a fresh approach.
B.K.S. IyengarAs a breeze ruffles the surface of a lake and distorts the images reflected therein, so also the chitta vrtti (fluctuations of mind) disturb the peace of the mind. The still waters of a lake reflect the beauty around it. When the mind is still, the beauty of the Self is seen reflected in it.
B.K.S. Iyengar
