Tirumalai Krishnamacharya quotes:
-
Inhale, and God approaches you. Hold the inhalation, and God remains with you. Exhale, and you approach God. Hold the exhalation, and surrender to God.
-
Nowadays, the practice of yoga stops with just asanas. Very few even attempt dharana and dhyana (deeper meditation) with seriousness. There is a need to search once more and reestablish the practice and value of yoga in modern times.
-
Let your speech be true and sweet.
-
Rid your body of its impurities, let your speech be true and sweet, feel friendship for the world, and with humility seek wealth and knowledge.
-
In the practice of Yoga one can emphasize the body, the mind or the self and hence the effort can never be fruitless.
-
Master your breath, let the self be in bliss, contemplate on the sublime within you.
-
Meditation results in marvels.
-
No one is wise by birth, for wisdom results from one own's efforts.
-
Regulate the breath, be happy, link the mind with the Lord in your heart.
-
Knowing all objects to be impermanent, let not their contact blind you, resolve again and again to be aware of the Self that is permanent.
-
Never be in debt. Never reside near enemies. Never trap your body through disease. Never forget the Lord with his consort who resides in the heart.
-
Teach what is inside you. Not as it applies to you, to yourself, but as it applies to the other.
-
Where is the delusion when truth is known? Where is the disease when the mind is clear? Where is death when the Breath is controlled? Therefore surrender to Yoga.
-
Why do we need money beyond a point? If we are free of ill health, enmity, and debt, is that not enough? Too much money only leads to less peace.
