Enlightenment The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali A New Translation and Commentary
by MSI

“Life is meant for freedom, joy and continual progress. How is this to be accomplished? By freeing our experiencing machinery from bondage to past experience. Union with the universal Higher Self is easy to accomplish; it is only necessary to turn the mind away from the noise of the internal programming and experience the perpetual peace of the present instant, already present within.”

 

“The outer manifestation is nothing, the inner experience is everything.”

“The natural condition of the mind is silence.”

“One must intensely desire the goal, else one will be distracted by the cares of the world and be irregular in the practice.”

“This is not a difficult path, this is a gentle and benevolent movement of life toward life, of love toward Love, of happiness toward joy. All good comes to those who follow this path; by seeking first the Kingdom of Heaven, all else is added.”

“One properly chosen vehicle will take the awareness from the surface of the mind to the silent depths in the ocean of Infinity.”

“Freedom is born in the experience of Now; this is the natural by-product of systematically reducing the activity of the movements of consciousness, returning the nervous system to the perfect innocence of Absolute Silence. This is the birth of joy, of life, of Truth, of permanent stability, of human life as it was designed to be lived.”
