    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

    Book Preview: #1 The first and foremost scripture of Yoga is the Yoga Sūtras, which were written by the sage Patañjali. Within these two hundred short sūtras, the entire science of Yoga is clearly delineated.

    #2 The goal of yoga is to control the rising of the mind into ripples. When the mind is controlled, you experience yoga. The Yogic experience is gained by controlling the modifications of the mind.

    #3 If you can control your thought forms, you are not bound by the outside world. You can make the world a heaven or a hell, depending on your attitude. Then there is nothing in this world to bind you.

    #4 The Seer, or true you, is reflected in the mind which is your mirror. Normally, you can't see the true Self because your mind is colored. To see the true reflection, see that the water is clean and calm and without any ripples.

      #1

      The first and foremost scripture of Yoga is the Yoga Sūtras, which were written by the sage Patañjali. Within these two hundred short sūtras, the entire science of Yoga is clearly delineated.

      #2

      The goal of yoga is to control the rising of the mind into ripples. When the mind is controlled, you experience yoga. The Yogic experience is gained by controlling the modifications of the mind.

      #3

      If you can control your thought forms, you are not bound by the outside world. You can make the world a heaven or a hell, depending on your attitude. Then there is nothing in this world to bind you.

      #4

      The Seer, or true you, is reflected in the mind which is your mirror. Normally, you can't see the true Self because your mind is colored. To see the true reflection, see that the water is clean and calm and without any ripples.

      #5

      The Yogic life is about self-reformation, self-control, and self-adjustment. When we can accomplish these three things, we will see a new world, a harmonious and happy one.

      #6

      There are two types of vrttis, those that bring us pain and those that do not. The first type is based on selfishness, and the second type is based on selflessness. We must try to cultivate selfless thoughts.

      #7

      We use the trick of developing certain positive thoughts while removing negative ones. We tell the mind that we want to create some thought forms, but if they
