Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know.

What you really long for is a deep intimacy with your own experience—the deepest acceptance of every thought, every sensation, every feeling. And that cannot come from outside of yourself.

"Yoga is the process of ending the definitions of the field of consciousness."

- B.K.S. Iyengar

"While praising, may we of strong and steady limb enjoy the life given by the Gods Om Peace, Peace, Peace"

- Shanti mantra from the Rg Veda

Peace comes not from doing, but from undoing; not from getting, but from letting go.

- Swami Satchidananda

Fortunately, deep within us, there is a direct connection to the Divine. There is a part of our being that is beyond the personal self. You can consciously choose to identify with that part, rather than with the psyche or the body. When you do this, a natural transformation begins to take place within.

- Michael Singer

If you want the moon, do not hide at night. If you want a rose, do not run from the thorns. If you want Love, do not hide from yourself.

- Thich Nhat Hanh

In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you.

- Deepak Chopra

Don't seek, don't search, don't ask, don't knock, don't demand - relax. If you relax it comes, if you relax it is there. If you relax, you start vibrating with it.

- Osho

With non-acceptance of unnecessary things, the knowledge emerges of what I was, what I have become, and what I will be.

- The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

Accept–then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. This will miraculously transform your whole life.
