Just as a little bird cracks open the shell and flies out, we fly out of this shell, the shell of the body. We call that death, but strictly speaking, death is nothing but a change of form.
Swami SatchidanandaDo you want to know the secret of life? If you want to have everything, donโt want anything. Everything will run after you.
Swami SatchidanandaYoga believes in transforming the individual before transforming the world. Whatever change we want to happen outside should happen within. If you walk in peace and express that peace in your very life, others will see you and learn something.
Swami SatchidanandaThe stones of a river start out rough, but with the current continually bumping and polishing them, they end up being beautiful.
Swami SatchidanandaIf you do not pour water on your plant, what will happen? It will slowly wither and die. Our habits will also slowly wither and die away if we do not give them an opportunity to manifest. You need not fight to stop a habit. Just donโt give it an opportunity to repeat itself. (67)
