Yoga and the Quest for the True Self Quotes

“Desai talked that morning about the preciousness of a human life. “In the world of yoga,” he said, “you must remember there are hell realms and heavenly realms and animal realms and other realms where souls abide.” But the human realms, he said, are most precious. Here in the human realms we suffer, but we also have the tools to wake up. And unlike the heavenly realm of the devas and brahmas, celestial beings, we have the desire to wake up. The human realms have just the right mixture of pleasure and pain to prod us toward the path of liberation.”
