Why think of liberation at some future time? Liberation is in the little things, here and now.

The body is your temple. Keep it pure and clean for the soul to reside in.

Do not think of yourself as a small, compressed, suffering thing. Think of yourself as graceful and expanding, no matter how unlikely it may seem at the time.

Yoga is a light, which once lit, will never dim. The better your practice, the brighter the flame.

Hatha Yoga teaches us to use the body as the bow, asana as the arrow, and the soul the target.

Life without tapas, is like a heart without love.

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

In backbends, one touches the body physically, mentally, intellectually, consciously and spiritually everywhere.

In an asana, the mind has to reach inside the body to find a quiet space until a point comes where perfect balance is felt.

Knowledge has a beginning but no end.

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

I love both puppies and kitties. I could just scrunch up their little faces!

Every man who is worth thirty millions and is not wedded to them, is dangerous to the government.

I had no expectations about Barack Obama and I'm not in the least disillusioned.

I entered (into my inward self) and beheld with the eye of my soul...the Light Unchangeable.

Healing doesn't mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls your life.
