Yoga is the music of the soul. So do continue, and the gates of the soul will open.

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

You do not need to seek freedom in some distant land, for it exists within your own body, heart, mind, and soul.

You exist without the feeling of existence.

As breath stills our mind, our energies are free to unhook from the senses and bend inward.

There is no progress toward ultimate freedom without transformation, and this is the key issue in all lives.

Our flawed mechanisms of perception and thought are not a cause for grief, but an opportunity to evolve, for an internal evolution of consciousness that will also make possible, in a sustainable form, our aspirations toward what we call individual success and global progress.
