The aim of yoga is to calm the chaos of conflicting impulses.

I always tell people, live happily and die majestically.

While doing the postures, your mind should be in half-consciousn ess, which does not mean sleep. It means silence, emptiness, space, which can then be filled with an acute awareness of the sensations given by the posture. You watch yourself from inside. It is a full silence.

When stability becomes a habit, maturity and clarity follow.

The body is the prop for the soul. So why not let the body be propped by a wall or a block?

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

When the restlessness of the mind, intellect and self is stilled through the practice of Yoga, the yogi by the grace of the Spirit within himself finds fulfillment.
