Yoga has to be done with the intellect of the head as well as the intellect of the heart

For me there were only two ways on the precipice - either I have to fall in or I have to fall out, to accept or say good-bye. The moment I crossed the precipice, it no longer was a discipline - it became a passion, an urge to pursue. Then I experienced freedom. Freedom comes when the discipline revolutionizes the discipline as a passion for the art.

In whatever you are doing, be one: body, soul, mind. Do it beautifully and with purity.

The commercialism may wash off sometime later.

First yoga deals with health, strength and conquest of the body. Next, it lifts the veil of difference between the body and the mind. Lastly, it leads the Sadhaka to peace and unalloyed purity.

Yoga is meant for the purification of body and its exploration as well as for the refinement of the mind.

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