The wise do not look for happiness
in them. But those who overcome the impulses of lust and anger which arise in
the body are made whole and live in joy. They find their joy, their rest, and
their light completely within themselves. Gita
5.22-24
We should keep strict vigil on the
already controlled senses so that they do not get an opportunity to raise their
ugly heads. Pure diet is of great help in this regard, in controlling sensual
desires and anger. Atherva Veda
Anger and hatred cannot bring
harmony. The noble task of arms control and disarmament cannot be accomplished
by confrontation and condemnation. Hostile attitudes only serve to heat up the
situation, whereas a true sense of respect gradually cools down what otherwise
could become explosive. The
XIV Dalai lama
Yoga is the practice of quieting
the mind. Patanjali
Yoga leads from ignorance to
wisdom, from weakness to strength, from disharmony to harmony, from hatred to
love..... from diversity to unity and from imperfection to perfection. Swami Shivananada
Yoga, an ancient but perfect
science, deals with the evolution of humanity. This evolution includes all
aspects of one's being form bodily health to self realization. Yoga means union
-the union of body with consciousness and consciousness with the soul. BKS Iyengar
