Utmost Importance
It is not merely the stabilisation of the body in the asana
but stabilisation of the intelligence in the body
that is the utmost importance.

Guruji - B.K.S. Iyengar on yoga
Mr. Iyengar says, "Yoga is an art, a science and a philosophy. It touches the life of man at every level, physical, mental, and spiritual. It is a practical method for making one's life purposeful, useful and noble.
From Light on the Yoga Sutras of Pantanjali, by B.K.S. Iyengar

If the Earth...
If the Earth
Were only a few feet
in diameter,
floating a few feet
about a field somewhere,
people would come
from everywhere to marvel
at it. People would walk around it marvelling at its
big pools of water,
its little pools and the water flowing
between. People would marvel at the bumps on it and
the
holes in it. They would marvel at the very thin layer of
gas
surrounding it and
the water suspended in the gas. The
people
would marvel at the
creatures walking around the surface of the
ball and at the creatures
in the water. The people would declare
it as a sacred
because it was the only one, and they would
protect it so that it
would not be hurt. The ball would be the
greatest wonder
known, and people would come to pray to
It, to be healed, to
gain knowledge, to know beauty and to
wonder how it could
be. People would love it and defend
It with their lives
because they would somehow
know that their lives
could be nothing
without it. If the
Earth were only
a few feet in
diameter.

I have posted this before, and I keep it posted on my fridge. A great reminder to not take this beautiful earth for granted.
Please do something everyday to protect the earth under your feet, the water you drink and the air you breath, for that will nourish your heart and soul as well as all life around you.
Namaste.

Does Asana Evolve the Practitioner?
In Astadala Yogamala vol.7 Mr. Iyengar writes about asana.
Can asana evolve the practitioner?
He writes, "Bees go to drink the hidden nectar of the flower. The flower does not go to the bees asking them to suck its essence. We, as bees, have to go to the asana to savour their essence. Asana do not come to us asking us to savour their flavor."
My interpretation of this is that we must go to yoga and do the work knowing that as we, "involve ourselves more in their practice, we evolve."
It is one thing to have all the yoga books and tapes sitting on a shelf beside us, but the knowledge they contain will not come to us. Once we start to experiment and experience in our own bodies do we gain that subjective knowledge.
So, be like a bee and nourish yourself with the sweet nectar of yoga!
Namaste.
