I can remain thoughtfully thoughtless, It is not an empty mind.

It is through your body that you realize you are a spark of divinity.

The ribs are the wings of the body. Open your wings.

You must purge yourself before finding faults in others.

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.

As long as you do not feel the serenity in the body, in each and every joint, there is no chance for emancipation. You are in bondage. So while you are sweating and aching, let your heart be light and let it fill your body with gladness. You are not only becoming free, but you are also being free. What is not to be glad about? The pain is temporary. The freedom is permanent.

The body is your temple. Keep it pure and clean for the soul to reside in.
