“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

“Poetry is capable of saving us.”
― I.A. Richards

“Sometimes by water
'and sometimes by the wind,

'He said losing and winning matters not at all!
'He told! Unbecoming is a part of becoming again...”
― Alok Mishra, Moving for Moksha
