“It took me whole decades to appreciate the depth and true value of yoga. Sacred texts supported my discoveries, but it was not they that signposted the way. What I learned through yoga, I found out through yoga.”

The hardness of a diamond is part of its usefulness, but its true value is in the light that shines through it.

As each individual is electrically alive and dynamic, so yoga is a living, dynamic force in life. In order to savor its essence, one needs a religiously attentive dynamic practice done with awareness and absorption.

Everybody should live quietly whether his experiences are happy or sad, whether they are successes or failures. That is contentment.

As we explore the soul, it is important to remember that this exploration will take place within nature (the body), for that is where and what we are.

Practice doing yoga with an innocent mind. Then, you will be able to cognize the things happening in your body

I can remain thoughtfully thoughtless, It is not an empty mind.

The study of asana is not about mastering posture. It’s about using posture to understand and transform yourself.

As animals, we walk the earth. As bearers of divine essence, we are among the stars. As human beings, we are caught in the middle, seeking to reconcile the paradox of how to make our way upon earth while striving for something more permanent and more profound.

Yoga allows you to rediscover a sense of wholeness in your life, where you do not feel like you are constantly trying to fit broken pieces together.

We have two physical eyes, but every pore of the body is also an eye.

As leaves move in the wind, your mind moves with your breath.

One’s spiritual realization lies in none other than how one walks among and interacts with one’s fellow beings.

The back is like a frame, the front body, the painting that it throws into relief.

Relaxation: In. Every. Pose. There. Should. Be. Repose.

Mind is the king of the senses; breath is the king of the mind; and the nerves are king of the breath.

An intellectual mind that is unconnected to the heart is an uncultivated mind.

It is essential for me to become involved in another search, and ‘search’ is the proper word to use because it promises discovery along with the risk.

This is because the spirit has no place; it is placeless; and for the spirit the earth and the heaven are as one since it makes discoveries in both

No harm will happen to the bounty of the sun, which is everlasting. This spirit has the power of discovery; it encompasses all things.

Even through the limitless space of the heavens – surround all that exists, and make discoveries in the exalted spheres and infinite distances. .

The process of my transformation came to a head with my discovery of St. Francis of Assisi during a pilgrimage I went on with a scout troop from my school.

I was given a small camera as a wedding gift from a very dear friend. My first pictures were taken on my honeymoon. As soon as I became familiar with the camera, I was intrigued with the possibilities of expression it offered. It was like a discovery for me.

Writing has got to be an act of discovery. Finding out things about what one is writing about.

Love at first sight’some say misnaming Discovery of twinned helplessness Against the huge tug of procreation. But friendship at first sight? This also Catches fiercely at the surprised heart So that the cheek blanches then blushes.
