“The cause of bandha and moksha (bondage and liberation) is our own minds. If we think we are bound, we are bound. If we think we are liberated, we are liberated. . . . It is only when we transcend the mind that we are free from all these troubles. (117)”
― Sri S. Satchidananda, The Yoga Sutras of Pantanjali

“If you could do one thing to improve yourself today, it would be this:

Rid yourself of bias.

If you can do this, you can learn to listen.
If you learn to listen, then you can learn to communicate.
If you can communicate, then you can begin to verbalize your feelings.
When you verbalize your feelings, then you can release stress and frustrations.
When you free yourself of what bothers you, then you can fully give yourself to others.
When you come this far, then you have learned to grow spiritually.”
― Shannon L. Alder

“A star falls from the sky and into your hands. Then it seeps through your veins and swims inside your blood and becomes every part of you. And then you have to put it back into the sky. And it's the most painful thing you'll ever have to do and that you've ever done. But what's yours is yours. Whether it’s up in the sky or here in your hands. And one day, it'll fall from the sky and hit you in the head real hard and that time, you won't have to put it back in the sky again.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“Autumn is the hardest season. The leaves are all falling, and they're falling like
they're falling in love with the ground.”
― Andrea Gibson
