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

Activity and passivity must go together in asanas.

Your body is the child of your soul.

Regarding perfection, that's a very difficult question. I can say that I have superseded most in my sadhana [practice]. I am in it, and my mind and my intelligence gets better in my sadhana, and it reaches a certain place. When I stretch, I stretch in such a way that my awareness moves, and a gate of awareness finally opens... My body is a laboratory, you can say. I don't stretch my body as if it is an object. I do yoga from the self towards the body, not the other way around.

When the asana is correct, there is lightness, a freedom. Freedom comes when every part of the body is active. Let us be free in whatever posture we are doing. Let us be full in whatever we do.

Anything physical is always changing, therefore, its reality is not constant, not eternal.

Move from the known to the unknown.
