“You may control a mad elephant;
You may shut the mouth of the bear and the tiger;
Ride the lion and play with the cobra;
By alchemy you may learn your livelihood;
You may wander through the universe incognito;
Make vassals of the gods; be ever youthful;
You may walk in water and live in fire;
But control of the mind is better and more difficult.”
― Paramahansa Yogananda, Autobiography of a Yogi

“Firm was my resolve
and fragile was my heart.
I saw many ends and many a start.”
― Alok Mishra, Moving for Moksha

“A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us.”
― Franz Kafka

“from him we come
into him we go
in between, we see
what he decides to show.”
― Alok Mishra, Moving for Moksha
