“The perfection of yoga is to become detached. And the perfection of detachment is to become completely attached, attached to God.”

I came to the conclusion that unless I found myself and became the change I wanted to see in the world – as Gandhi said – I couldn’t contribute much, nor would there be anything fulfilling or meaningful in my life. So I went on a spiritual search.

Definition of love: capacity to forgive endlessly.

What really pleases the Spiritual Master is our intent and the quality of our character.

Every time you are passing the test, you are coming closer to Krishna.

The transcendental knowledge of devotional service is digested by the engyme of humility.

If we do the right thing with right intent that is actually our success.

Sadly, in the name of progress, we have polluted the air, water, soil and the food we eat.

Remembrance is a necessary expression of love, internally.

When we are honoured for a thing, we become attached to that thing.

Real religion is not about being a Christian or a Jew or a Muslim. Real religion is about loving God, & dedicating ones life to be an instrument of Gods compassion, kindness towards other living beings.

Giving up pride means giving all credit and glory to Guru and Krishna.

If somebody praises us and if we have any humility we will feel totally like a fool.

Humility is all about being truthful and honest.

In this world, all pleasures are sources of pain.

If we seek the essence of every situation, if we seek to connect to God within our hearts, then we will find an opportunity there, to grow internally in wisdom in every trial we face.

If we see the body we live in as a temple used to engage in beautiful activities in the service of God’s children, then we recognize it as spiritual. But if we use our body for more selfish purposes, then we’re only experiencing its material conception.

The practice of ‘asanas’ and ‘pranayama’ wards off disease and helps to maintain alertness.

Let’s face it, I only practice yoga because the classes are always packed with beautiful women.

At any Maroon 5 concert, you’ll see a room backstage marked ‘yoga.’

Yoga takes what you have and molds and sculpts it, which is a much more natural way to look and feel.

There’s nothing to win in yoga. You just do what you can do, one day to the next.

Yoga carves you into a different person – and that is satisfying physically.

A lot of times people will think, ‘I’m strong, I’m in shape; why can’t I do this pose?’ But that’s not the point.

Playing a show before thousands of people is a highly unnatural state, and when I get on the mat to do an hour of yoga before the show, I come out physically relaxed.
