“The primary aim of yoga is to restore the mind to simplicity, peace, and poise, to free it from confusion and distress.”

Breath is the vehicle of consciousness and so, by its slow measured observation and distribution, we learn to tug our attention away from external desires toward a judicious, intelligent awareness.

Yoga is like music: the rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind, and the harmony of the soul create the symphony of life.

The art of teaching is tolerance. Humbleness is the art of learning.

To be dull is easy, to be active requires tremendous work.

If you practice yoga every day with perseverance, you will be able to face the turmoil of life with steadiness and maturity.

The lotus grows in muddy waters but this flower does not show any trace of it: So we have to live in the world.

The highest point of yesterday should be the lowest point of today

The pose begins when you want to leave it.

Awareness must be like the rays of the sun: extending everywhere, illuminating all.

Yoga is an art, a science and a philosophy. It touches the life of man at every level, physical, mental, and spiritual. It is a practical method for making one’s life purposeful, useful and noble.

Healthy plants and trees yield abundant flowers and fruits. Similarly, from a healthy person, smiles and happiness shine forth like the rays of the sun.

Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit.

The needs of the body are the needs of the divine self, which lives through the body.

The light that Yoga sheds on life is something special. It is transformative. It does not just change the way we see things; it transforms the person who sees.

Yoga is effort. Only practice is important. The rest of knowledge is only theory.

How can you know God if you don’t know your big toe?

It’s okay to be confused. Confusion is the route to all the clarity in the world.

Accept people and situations as they are in life and then take action. The moment you do this, you’ll see you are out of the confusion about anything in life.

Through thickest gloom look back, immortal shade, On that confusion which thy death has made.

Plurality which is not reduced to unity is confusion; unity which does not depend on plurality is tyranny.

Self-actualized people…live more in the real world of nature than in the man-made mass of concepts, abstractions, expectations, beliefs and stereotypes that most people confuse with the world.

We, humans, are so tortured by not properly guessing what will make us happy.

Don’t confuse my kindness for foolishness. Understanding and forgiveness are two different things.

Confusion is very important as it let us choose something or someone and give us time to reflect on what we need.
