Where does the body end and the mind begin? Where does the mind end and the spirit begin? They cannot be divided as they are inter-related and but different aspects of the same all-pervading divine consciousness.
B.K.S. IyengarThe Yogi conquers the body by the practice of asanas, making the body a fit vehicle for the spirit. The Yogi knows that it is a necessary vehicle for the spirit, for a soul without a body is like a bird deprived of its power to fly.
B.K.S. IyengarThe primary aim of yoga is to restore the mind to simplicity, peace, and poise, to free it from confusion and distress.
B.K.S. IyengarKeep your attention internal, not external, not worrying about what others see, but what the Self sees.
