The longest journey begins with a single step.

Yoga is mind wave quieting.

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

When there is firm conquest over covetousness, they who have conquered it wake up to the how and why of life.

In deep meditation the flow of concentration is continuous like the flow of oil.

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

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.
