"To know the truth we have to deepen ourselves, and not merely
widen the surface." • Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan |
"Yoga is a method for increasing awareness of the inner self. When
such a method is followed systematically it is of profound importance
in our lives. Outwardly, it permits us to act in conformity with our
needs, our intentions, and the values we hold most dear. Inwardly,
we learn to strengthen the body, relax and balance the nervous system,
and bring peace and one-pointed concentration to the mind. In the
end, yoga is said to lead to the highest goal of life; the direct
realization of our own true nature." -
