You hate someone whom you really wish to love, but whom you cannot love. Perhaps he himself prevents you. That is a disguised form of love.

Yoga is self-conquest. Self-conquest is God-realisation. He who practises yoga does two things with one stroke: he simplifies his whole life, and he gets free access to the Divine.

Smile, smile, smile at your mind as often as possible. Your smiling will considerably reduce your mind's tearing tension.

No matter how fleeting
Your smile is,
Your smile is the very beginning
Of your wisdom-light.

Look at your heart-flower and smile.
You will be able to solve your most pressing problems.

Just one smile
Immensely increases the beauty
Of the universe.
