Hatha Yoga teaches us to use the body as the bow, asana as the arrow, and the soul the target.

The yogi learns to forget the past and takes no thought for the morrow. He lives in the eternal present.

The supreme adventure in a man’s life is his journey back to his Creator. To reach the goal he needs well developed and co-ordinated functioning of his body, senses, mind, reason and Self.

Your body is the child of your soul.

Life without tapas, is like a heart without love.

Many ask me whether pranayama ... postpones old age. Why worry about it? Death is certain. Let it come when it comes. Just keep working. The soul has no age. It doesn't die. Only the body decays. And yet, we must never forget the body, since it is the garden we must cherish and cultivate.

As long as you do not live totally in the body, you do not live totally in the Self.
