Qualities
Yoga is the eternal cosmic principle, the governing energy of the universe. My aim is to awaken this consciousness within you. Your specific beliefs are not important; what matters is your inward awakening. We are sleeping and must awaken ourselves. One becomes holy, human, or a devil through inner quality. Those lacking a pure heart become angry, jealous, and doubtful quickly, always looking for others' mistakes. People eagerly watch a street fight but dismiss talk of God and peace as crazy. Their reactions show how qualities immediately decide perception. Therefore, what others say or think does not matter. I came not for gossip but to help and to liberate myself.
"Yoga is eternal, a cosmic principle. The energy which governs, balances, and protects the entire universe is Yogamāyā, Yogaśakti; that is yoga."
"You may believe what you want to believe—any god, any incarnation—or you may not believe. The important thing is that you awaken inwardly."
