In the practice of Yoga one can emphasize the body, the mind or the self and hence the effort can never be fruitless.
Tirumalai KrishnamacharyaWhere is the delusion when truth is known? Where is the disease when the mind is clear? Where is death when the Breath is controlled? Therefore surrender to Yoga.
Tirumalai KrishnamacharyaInhale, and God approaches you. Hold the inhalation, and God remains with you. Exhale, and you approach God. Hold the exhalation, and surrender to God.
Tirumalai Krishnamacharya
