Though we can't always see it at the time, if we look upon events with some perspective, we see things always happen for our best interests. We are always being guided in a way better than we know ourselves.

Yoga began with the first person wanting to be healthy and happy all the time.

We can see the same spirit in everybody only when we know we are that spirit, Atman or Self. Only a person who has understood his own Self can see that Self in everybody.

At various points in our lives, or on a quest, and for reasons that often remain obscure, we are driven to make decisions which prove with hindsight to be loaded with meaning. (225)

If your heart is beautiful, your face will be beautiful, your life will be beautiful, everything will be beautiful.

The greatest victory you can win is over your own mind.

Yoga is not only learning to stand on your head but also learning to stand on your feet.
