“If you could do one thing to improve yourself today, it would be this:

Rid yourself of bias.

If you can do this, you can learn to listen.
If you learn to listen, then you can learn to communicate.
If you can communicate, then you can begin to verbalize your feelings.
When you verbalize your feelings, then you can release stress and frustrations.
When you free yourself of what bothers you, then you can fully give yourself to others.
When you come this far, then you have learned to grow spiritually.”
― Shannon L. Alder

“I believe in going with the flow. I don't believe in fighting against the flow. You ride on your river and you go with the tides and the flow. But it has to be your river, not someone else's. Everyone has their own river, and you don't need to swim,float,sail on their's, but you need to be in your own river and you need to go with it. And I don't believe in fighting the wind. You go and you fly with your wind. Let everyone else catch their own gusts of wind and let them fly with their own gusts of wind, and you go and you fly with yours.”

“The cause of bandha and moksha (bondage and liberation) is our own minds. If we think we are bound, we are bound. If we think we are liberated, we are liberated. . . . It is only when we transcend the mind that we are free from all these troubles. (117)”
― Sri S. Satchidananda, The Yoga Sutras of Pantanjali

“Temples and churches have become social centers. They have lost their original purpose because the minds of the people are more attracted to worldly things than to prayer. The lips repeat the prayer mechanically like a phonograph record, but the mind wanders to other places. (23-24)”
― Sri S. Satchidananda, The Yoga Sutras of Pantanjali
