Eternal journey within orselves
The eternal journey is within ourselves, to understand our true nature beyond the body and mind. Close your eyes to connect with your highest self, for external sight brings disturbance. Know your breath consciously, as breath is life. We inquire: what is this life force within us that sustains us regardless of food, water, or air? It is a principle distinct from the physical body. Our body, like all creatures and plants, contains this eternal mechanism. This inner journey is reflected in the subtle energy centers, or chakras, within our spinal column. The signs on our hands and foot soles symbolize this journey and can influence family harmony or destiny. All beings contain a blend of masculine and feminine principles, but the horse is considered the complete being. Specific animals, like the cow and horse, carry purifying energies. Our body's organs are divinely duplicated for our benefit. Every cell is part of the divine, and the self is the entire cosmos. True yoga practice is an internal science to master this inner energy and realize the eternal self within.
"Life is our breath, and our breath is the life."
"Everything is within ourselves. And so yoga in daily life has immense science and knowledge."
