B.K.S. Iyengar was an amazing man who overcame a childhood
full of sickness and used his personal healing as inspiration to spread the
wisdom of yoga. He helped introduce the practice of yoga to the Western world
and greatly influenced yoga as we know it. To commemorate his recent passing, please
enjoy these words of wisdom from the man himself:
“It is through your body that you realize you are a spark of
divinity.”
“Spirituality is not some external goal that one must seek,
but a part of the divine core of each of us, which we must reveal.”
“Do not aim low, you
will miss the mark. Aim high and you will be on a threshold of bliss.”
“Life itself seeks fulfillment as plants seek sunlight.”
“One's spiritual realization lies in none other than how one
walks among and interacts with one's fellow beings.”
