Ignorance has no beginning, but it has an end. There is a beginning but no end to knowledge.
Do not stop trying just because perfection eludes you.
Yoga is a mirror to look at ourselves from within.
In whatever position one is in, or in whatever condition in life one is placed, one must find balance. Balance is the state of the present - the here and now. If you balance in the present, you are living in Eternity.
You must purge yourself before finding faults in others.
The 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.
