In Savasana or in meditation, the light of the eyes is drawn towards the lotus of the heart, so that the seat of the intelligence of the head is brought into contact with the seat of the intelligence of the heart, which is called the mind. Thus one passes from the individualistic state of consciousness to the universal state of consciousness. It is the merging of the intellect of the brain with the intellect of the soul.

Willpower is nothing but willingness to do.

Mind is the king of the senses; breath is the king of the mind; and the nerves are king of the breath.

Extension brings space, space brings freedom, freedom brings precision. Precision is truth.
