As a mighty river which when properly harnessed by dams and canals, creates a vast reservoir of water, prevents famine and provides abundant power for industry; so also the mind, when controlled, provides a reservoir of peace and generates abundant energy for the human uplift.

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

You must do the asana with your soul. How can you do an asana with your soul? We can only do it with the organ of the body that is closest to the soul - the heart. So a virtuous asana is done from the heart and not from the head. Then you are not just doing it, but you are in it. Many people try to think their way into an asana, but you must instead feel your way into it through love and devotion

It is never too late in life to practice yoga

Why should you practice Yoga? To kindle the divine fire within yourself. Everyone has a dormant spark of divinity in him which has to be fanned into flame.

Yoga allows you to find an inner peace that is not ruffled and riled by the endless stresses and struggles of life.

It is while practicing yoga asanas that you learn the art of adjustment.
