Perfection in asana is achieved when the effort to perform it becomes effortless and the infinite being within is reached.

Here is, in truth, the whole secret of Yoga, the science of the soul. The active turnings, the strident vibrations, of selfishness, lust and hate are to be stilled by meditation, by letting heart and mind dwell in spiritual life, by lifting up the heart to the strong, silent life above, which rests in the stillness of eternal love, and needs no harsh vibration to convince it of true being.

When you are steadfast in your abstention of thoughts of harm directed toward yourself and others, all living creatures will cease to feel fear in your presence.

It is not enough to have intuitions; we must act on them; we must live them.

The way to eliminate ignorance is through steady, focused discrimination between the observer and the world.

It is only when the correct practice is followed for a long time, without interruptions and with a quality of positive attitude and eagerness, that it can succeed.

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