Yoga is mind wave quieting.

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.

Be happy for those who are happy, have compassion towards the unhappy, and maintain equanimity towards the wicked.

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

When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds.

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.

Yoga is the settling of the mind into silence. When the mind has settled, we are established in our essential nature, which is unbounded Consciousness. Our essential nature is usually overshadowed by the activity of the mind.
