When I stretch, I stretch in such a way that my awareness moves, and a gate of awareness finally opens.
B.K.S. IyengarDon't practice for cosmetic beauty, practice for cosmic beauty. Practice for inner beauty and inner light.
B.K.S. IyengarThe union of nature and soul removes the veil of ignorance that covers our intelligence.
B.K.S. IyengarIn Savasana or in meditation, the light of the eyes is drawn towards the lotus of the heart, so that the seat of the intelligence of the head is brought into contact with the seat of the intelligence of the heart, which is called the mind. Thus one passes from the individualistic state of consciousness to the universal state of consciousness. It is the merging of the intellect of the brain with the intellect of the soul.
