Asana is perfect firmness of body, steadiness of intelligence, and benevolence of spirit.

Yoga is a means and an end.

People remind me of my age, but while practising I am beyond my body and its age.

As long as the body is not in perfect health, you think about it, and that prevents you from thinking of the mind. The sound mind is a sound body.

Where does the body end and the mind begin? Where does the mind end and the spirit begin? They cannot be divided as they are inter-related and but different aspects of the same all-pervading divine consciousness.

When the mind is controlled and still what remains is the soul

A lamp does not flicker in a place where no wind blows; so it is with a yogi, who controls his mind, intellect and self, being absorbed in the spirit within him.
