As long as the body is not in perfect health, you think about it, and that prevents you from thinking of the mind. The sound mind is a sound body.
B.K.S. IyengarIt is through the body that everything comes to the mind. It is through and with your body that you have to reach realization of being a spark of divinity. How can we neglect the temple of the spirit?
B.K.S. IyengarIgnorance has no beginning, but it has an end. There is a beginning but no end to knowledge.
