Yoga is a means and an end.

Through surrender the aspirant's ego is effaced, and . . . grace . . . pours down upon him like a torrential rain.

Freedom in a posture is when every joint is active.

Learning is as much an art as teaching

Yoga is an art, a science and a philosophy. It touches the life of man at every level, physical, mental, and spiritual. It is a practical method for making one's life purposeful, useful and noble.

If you practice yoga every day with perseverance, you will be able to face the turmoil of life with steadiness and maturity.

You must purge yourself before finding faults in others. When you see a mistake in somebody else, try to find if you are making the same mistake. This is the way to take judgment and to turn it into improvement. Do not look at others' bodies with envy or with superiority. All people are born with different constitutions. Never compare with others. Each one's capacities are a function of his or her internal strength. Know your capacities and continually improve upon them.
