It may be a little selfish to find your peace and joy first, but that doesn’t matter. Be that selfish in the sense that you are seeking it to be of benefit to yourself and to others. ~Swami Satchidananda

[Integral Yoga Intl @IntegralYoga]

A spiritual seeker should stick to one thing, one place, one mantra, and one teacher. That’s the way to achieve success and to become accomplished in whatever you do.

If you are interested in your spiritual welfare always keep the goal in mind and never allow the ego to swell.

Always keep the goal of your Yoga practices in mind, the great gain & what you are going to experience as a result of your efforts. Then any difficulties will seem like nothing much at all to you. ~Swami Satchidananda

[Integral Yoga Intl @IntegralYoga]

Discipline and faith go together. It is your faith and your constant repetition of a mantra that brings you the benefit—not just the mantra by itself.

If at any time all the forms cease to be, there will be nothing but a mass of sound vibration. That is what the entire universe is based upon.

All Yoga practices should be done as a meditation. ~Swami Satchidananda

Obstacles along the spiritual path are necessary to test your strength. ~Swami Satchidananda

[Integral Yoga Intl @IntegralYoga]

All our spiritual practices should have this goal: to keep the mind calm and clean and to not to allow it to become disturbed or cloudy. It is for this reason that we selflessly serve and devote our lives for the benefit of others. That is Yoga.

[Integral Yoga Intl @IntegralYoga]

It is written in the Upanishads, “Aham Brahmasmi, Tat Twam Asi, which means, “You are that absolute God, Thou Art That.” With a clean, calm mind not only will you recognize your true nature, you will also be able recognize the same nature in others as well.

If you have not mastered your mind and your mind acts as an enemy to you, you will also see others as enemies and not as friends. You are your best friend and you are your worst enemy. ~Swami Satchidananda

[Integral Yoga Intl @IntegralYoga]

You think you're the body and the mind. Take care of them. Keep them clean, pure & serene. That's what we do in the name of all the Yoga practices because without your physical cleanliness and mental health you cannot serve others.

[Integral Yoga Intl @IntegralYoga]

In Sanskrit God is defined as satyam, sivam & sundaram. What is, is God–always. That means God in everything. The "is" exists even before the flower. It becomes the flower. It is a flower. The "is"—or the existence—is what you call Truth.

Prevention is better than cure and that is where Yoga comes in. ~Swami Satchidananda

[Integral Yoga Intl @IntegralYoga]

Several thousand years ago, Sri Patanjali taught that a calm mind is like a mirror. If you keep your mind pure, clean, and calm, you will see yourself in that mirror-like mind, as the image of God.

[Integral Yoga Intl @IntegralYoga]

The real goal of Yoga is to understand oneself by making the mind clean and calm. Yoga is not just a set of physical postures, meditation, and breathing techniques. Yoga helps us to develop mental purity and serenity, which are both necessary to understand oneself.
