“When body, breath, and mind work together in harmony to achieve a spiritual goal, that is yoga.”

The world is not a burden; we make it a burden by our desires. When the desires are removed, the world is as light as a feather on an elephant’s back.

The body is a boat that carries the soul in the ocean of the world. If it is not strong, or it has a hole, then it cannot cross the ocean, so the first duty is to fix the boat.

If you work on yoga, yoga will work on you.

Life is not a burden, but we make it one when we refuse to accept things as they are.

Children copy their parents, friends, and teachers. They will develop the habits of the people around them. So if you want your child to be honest, peaceful and happy you should be that way first.

You can’t teach a hunter it’s wrong to kill.

Who realizes what? That is realization.

Husband and wife are like the two equal parts of a soybean. If the two parts are put under the earth separately, they will not grow. The soybean will grow only when the parts are covered by the skin. Marriage is the skin which covers each of them and makes them one.

If a pickpocket meets a Holy Man, he will see only His pockets.

Work honestly, meditate everyday, meet people without fear and play.

Desire is the creator; desire is the destroyer.

Love everyone, including yourself. This is real sadhana.

As soon as a person starts thinking, ‘I want to be a better person,’ that is the start of Yoga.

By running away from the world no one can get peace. Anywhere you go the problems will go with you, because the problems are inside you and not outside. Outside is simply a projection of inside.

Tapas is not a penance, it’s a mental training to develop will power

We are always learning from each others. Only when we merge inside God would we stop learning. We will understand more as we teach others, so we rely on teaching in order to learn for ourselves.

If you’re not afraid, if you take everything you are, everything worthwhile in you and direct it at one goal, one ultimate mark, you’ve got to get there.

The supreme purpose and goal for human life… is to cultivate love.

Only in the human form is it possible for life to attain its final goal, which is to realize the all-pervading and infinite Divinity.

There is no higher or lower goal. There is only one goal, Self-Realization.

It’s all about how can you take care of yourself when furthering your life’s goals and ambitions, and purpose and whatever you choose – family, career – to maintain a really balanced, whole, healthy outlook.

We are not long-term beings. Not heroes of romances in many volumes. For one gesture, for one word alone, we shall make the effort. We openly admit: our creations will be temporary. We shall have this as our aim: a gesture.

Transform reason into ordered intuition; let all thyself be light. This is thy goal.

I’m tired of dreaming. I’m into doing at the moment. It’s, like, let’s only have goals that we can go after.
