As 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. IyengarI 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.
