The inward battle--against our mind, our wounds, and the residues of the past--is more terrible than outward battle.
SivanandaIf you do not find peace within, you will not find it anywhere else. The Goal of Life is the attainment of Peace and not the achievement of power, name, fame and wealth.
SivanandaThe practice of 'asanas' and 'pranayama' wards off disease and helps to maintain alertness.
SivanandaThere is some truth in everything. Views and opinions are different aspects. Do not quarrel with others.
SivanandaThe mental ability to concentrate is inherent to all; it is not extraordinary or mysterious. Meditation is not something that a Yogi has to teach you; you already have the ability to shut out thoughts.
SivanandaMoney can help you to get medicines but not health. Money can help you to get soft pillows, but not sound sleep. Money can help you to get material comforts, but not eternal bliss. Money can help you to get ornaments, but not beauty. Money will help you to get an electric earphone, but not natural hearing. Attain the supreme wealth, wisdom; you will have everything.
Sivananda
