Whenever asana is done mechanically from the front brain, the action is felt only on the peripheral body, and there is no inner sensation, there is no luminous inner light. If the asana is done with continual reference to the back of the brain, there is a reaction to each action, and there is sensitivity. Then life is not only dynamic, but it is also electrified with life force.

Is it necessary to practice all these asanas, further and further? Is it necessary to develop scientific researches further and further? To a yogi, the body is a laboratory, a field of experiments and perpetual researches.

Through surrender the aspirant's ego is effaced, and . . . grace . . . pours down upon him like a torrential rain.

The body has to be invaded by the intelligence; each part has to become intelligent.

Yoga releases the creative potential in life.

Training of the mind and body leads to awareness of the soul

I don't stretch my body as if it is an object. I do yoga from the self towards the body, not the other way around.
