Arise, transcend Thyself, Thou art man and the whole nature of man Is to become more than himself.

The practice of Yoga brings us face to face with the extraordinary complexity of our own being.

Recover the source of all strength in yourself, and all else will be added to you ... political freedom, the mastery of human thought, the hegemony of the world.

The higher Truth is all the time working in us but through the lower power - Aparashakti. It is when we become conscious of the play of this higher Power then only yoga begins.

The inside must be made entirely calm and quiet and there should reign an upward aspiration - a state of awaiting.

Not only a truer knowledge, but a greater power comes to one in the quietude and silence of a mind that, instead of bubbling on the surface, can go to its own depths and listen.

Peace is the first condition, without which nothing else can be stable.
