The primary aim of yoga is to restore the mind to simplicity, peace, and poise, to free it from confusion and distress.

Yoga is when every cell of the body sings the song of the soul.

Live before you die, so that death is also a lively celebration.

Love begets courage, moderation creates abundance and humility generates power

During inhalation, the breath should move exactly like clouds spreading in the sky.

Death is unimportant to a yogi; he does not mind when he is going to die. What happens after death is immaterial to him. He is only concerned with life-with how he can use his life for the betterment of humanity. Having undergone various types of pain in his life and having acquired a certain mastery over pain, he develops compassion to help society and maintains himself in purity and holiness. The yogi has no interest beyond that.
