inspirational quotes
“The conjunction of effort, concentration, and balance in asana forces us to live intensely in the present moment, a rare experience in modern life. This actuality, or being in the present, has both a strengthening and a cleansing effect: physically in the rejection of disease, mentally by ridding our mind of stagnated thoughts or prejudices; and, on a very high level where perception and action become one, by teaching us instantaneous correct action; that is to say, action which does not produce reaction.”
B.K.S. Iyengar,
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (1993)
"Yoga is a light which, once lit, will never dim. The better your practice the brighter the flame"
B.K.S. Iyengar
“If the foundation is firm, the building can withstand calamities. The practice of yoga is the foundation, so that the self is not shaken under any circumstances.”
B.K.S. Iyengar
“Through cultivation of friendliness, compassion, joy & indifference to pleasure and pain, virtue and vice respectively, the consciousness becomes favorably disposed, serene and benevolent.
This sutra asks us to rejoice with the happy, to be compassionate to the sorrowful, friendly to the virtuous, and indifferent to those who live in vice despite attempts to change them.”
B.K.S. Iyengar,
his commentary and translation: Yoga Sutra 1.33
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (1993)
“Practice. It will take care of all your problems.”
Manouso Manos
"The first thing necessary for Yoga is concentration of purpose. You have so many aims, so many purposes, that you are frittering away your little stock of energy in the attempt to accomplish them all. You are pursuing so many objects not because they are pleasant or profitable in themselves, but because you have neither found out the highest good of your life nor have you trained your will to realize it."
Sri Ananda Acharya
“You’re supposed to be a pillar of light.”
Manouso Manos
"No effort on the yoga path is ever lost,
nor can any obstacle hold one back forever.
Just a little progress on the path can protect
one from the greatest fear.
Ch.2 verse 40
Bhagavad Gita
