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.

Spirituality is not some external goal that one must seek, but a part of the divine core of each of us, which we must reveal.

The brain is the hardest part of the body to adjust in asanas.

You do not need to seek freedom in some distant land, for it exists within your own body, heart, mind, and soul.
