If you can control the rising of the mind into ripples, you will experience Yoga.

Sexual activity, and the thoughts and fantasies of sex, use up a great portion of our vital force. When that force is conserved through abstinence, it becomes sublimated as spiritual energy.

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

Yoga is a practical method for making one's life purposeful, useful and noble.

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

The longest journey begins with a single step.

Yoga is the practice of quieting the mind.
