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

If you have the right mind, your body can do anything.

As a well cut diamond has many facets, each reflecting a different color of light, so does the word yoga, each facet reflecting a different shade of meaning and revealing different aspects of the entire range of human endeavor to win inner peace and happiness.
