Yoga is the cessation of mind.

Yoga takes you into the present moment, the only place where life exists.

The obstacles that distract thought are disease, apathy, doubt, carelessness, indolence, dissipation, false vision, failure to attain a firm basis in yoga, and restlessness.

The Yoga of action, leading to union with the soul is fiery aspiration, spiritual reading and devotion to Ishvara.

There is always a light within us that is free from all sorrow and grief, no matter how much we may be experiencing suffering.

Asanas bring perfection in body, beauty in form, grace, strength, compactness, and the hardness and brilliance of a diamond.

Success is nearest to those whose efforts are intense and sincere.
