Yoga is a means and an end.

Asanas penetrate deep into each layer of the body and ultimately into the consciousness itself.

In order to find out how to reveal our innermost Being, the sages explored the various sheaths of existence, starting from body and progressing through mind and intelligence, and ultimately to the soul. The yogic journey guides us from our periphery, the body, to the center ofour being, the soul. The aim is to integrate the variouslayers so that the inner divinity shines out as through clear glass.

We often fool ourselves that we are concentrating because we fix our attention on wavering objects.

One day you too may experience what I have experienced. So right away go and practise.

Love begets courage, moderation creates abundance and humility generates power. Courage without love is brutish. Abundance without moderation leads to over-indulgence and decay. Power without humility breeds arrogance and tyranny.

Don't practice for cosmetic beauty, practice for cosmic beauty. Practice for inner beauty and inner light.
