I donโt bring yesterdayโs poses to todayโs practice. I know yesterdayโs poses, but when I practice today I become a beginner. I donโt want yesterdayโs experience. I want to see what new understanding may come in addition to what I felt up to now.
B.K.S. IyengarWe must create a marriage between the awareness of the body and that of the mind. When two parties do not cooperate, there is unhappiness on both sides.
B.K.S. IyengarIn 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.
B.K.S. IyengarYou have to get rid of borders, limits, and classifications; then light comes. We see everything on the screen of our ideas. We must get rid of that screen to be able to see what is behind. X's ideas are limited, that is why he remains on the surface. Y got rid of the limits, so she always goes to the depths. We should always meet people and new subjects with no set frame of mind. We have to live like that even after long acquaintance. We must get rid of every set idea to approach everything and everyone with love.
B.K.S. Iyengar
