It's hard enough to change ourselves. We can't expect other people to change so that we feel better. We have to take the journey ourselves.

The inner experience of meditation can be had without any kind of forced discipline. The outer trappings - how one sits, breathes, dresses, and so forth - are irrelevant.

You are the luminous mystery in which the entire universe with its forms and phenomena arises and subsides. When this realization dawns there is a complete transformation of your personal self into your universal self . . . the complete loss of all fear, including death. You have become a being who radiates love the same way the sun radiates light. You have finally arrived at the place from which your journey began.

When you were a child you had dreams of becoming somebody as an adult. Have you lived up to your dreams?

Yoga has moved from relative anonymity in the West to a well-recognized practice offered in thousands of studios, community centers, hospitals, gyms, and health clubs.

The whole world opens when we accept this moment, this very moment.

To love and be loved is the most natural expression of our being.
