Quotes that inspire are almost all from the Bhagavad Gita

Your mind is a wild animal and can be brought under control only by Abhyas (practice or discipline) and Vairagya (detaching from the result) When meditation is mastered, the mind is unwavering like the flame of a lamp in a windless place Pain is inevitable, but suffering is not. Desire is the root cause of suffering For one who has conquered his mind, a mind is best of friends, but for one who has failed to do so, a mind is the greatest enemy When your intellect transcends the mire of delusion, then you will attain dispassion and then know of what has been heard and what is yet to be heard

This is really difficult. I am a yoga teacher, however my husband and son dont do yoga regularly. Till my son was 8-9years he did it watching me, but last 4-6years he was more into football like my husband.

Now at 14, he just told me yesterday that he will do yoga in the summers. I think his hamstring inflexibility and stress from exams was the trigger. Of course I was overjoyed.

Husband though - i think he just needs the right teacher. He did it for 2-3 months, but didnt continue after the teacher left.
