THE TRUTH



" Money and status mean nothing to me. What I seek is knowledge. I will serve only my Guru. In this world I will be a slave to nobody, work under nobody!"
Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya
Rather pursue truth than pretend to know
Rather share knowledge than proclaim to be an authority on it
Rather practice than preach
Rather be in stillness than sound
When we think we are an authority on something it’s a manifestation of powerlessness and fear. To be a true yoga and spiritual practitioner one requires a great amount of love, compassion and selflessness. Knowledge without these qualities is as good as an ocean without water. Achieving tough asanas and bending in all directions have no meaning if the foundation of truth is missing. The toughest part of a yoga sadhana. This is what my inner core truly believes.
