The trick is to regain such a state when you are grown and have seen the light and dark sides of life.”

“The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us.”

It has happened to many without doing any postures, and it has not happened to many who have been doing postures for many lives.”

“Man's ideal state is realized when he has fulfilled the purpose for which he is born. And what is it that reason demands of him? Something very easy-that he live in accordance with his own nature.”

On that basis, human beings can transform themselves by increasing the good qualities and reducing the negative qualities.”
