There is one Cosmic Essence, all-pervading, all-knowing, all-powerful. This nameless formless essence can be approached by any name, any form, any symbol that suites the taste of the individual.

Swami SatchidanandaThe five points of yama, together with the five points of niyama, remind us of the Ten Commandments of the Christtian and Jewish faiths, as well as of the ten virtues of Buddhism.

They are the foundation stones without which we can never build anything lasting. (127)

If you leave that to dig another well, all the first effort is wasted and there is no proof you wonโt hit rock again. (52)
