Great compassion penetrates into the marrow of the bone. It is the support of all living beings. Like the love of a parent for an only child, the tenderness of the Compassionate One is all-pervasive.

I feel there is a great spiritual awakening on the planet right now. More than any previous time, people are drawn to meditation, to mindfulness, to yoga. These have become mainstream in the West because there is a hunger.

In True Meditation, we're in the body as a means to transcend it. It is paradoxical that the greatest doorway to the transcendence of form is through form itself.

I work out. I used to go to yoga every day. Now I just incorporate yoga into my warm-up and my cool down. I drink a lot of water, and I go to therapy.

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

Fear less, hope more. Eat less, chew more. Talk less, say more. Hate less, love more.

Yoga is an inner experience - a workIN within a workOUT.

Changing the world begins with the very personal process of changing yourself, the only place you can begin is where you are, and the only time you can begin is always now.

Never do anything that taints your mind. Wrong actions cause negative or evil mental vibrations that are reflected in your whole appearance and personality. Engage in those actions and thoughts that nurture the good qualities you want to have.

Thinkers do not accept the inevitable; they turn their efforts toward changing it.
