“Body and soul: a horse harnessed beside an ox.”

“Asanas bring perfection in body, beauty in form,grace, strength, compactness, and the harness and brilliance of a diamond.”

“Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Canada are the horns, the head, the neck, the shins, and the hoof of the ox, and the United States are the ribs, the sirloin, the kidneys, and the rest of the body.”

“Even when there were no more options for the body, the heart's wishes find a way out, and as with all warmth, love rises. Besides, the will to fly was in the nature of the soul, so its home had to be up above”

“Begin to see yourself as a soul with a body rather than a body with a soul.”

“I'm not a body with a soul, I'm a soul that has a visible part called the body.”

“In Western thought, the body holds the soul; in Indian thought, the soul holds the body.”

“As the separation of the soul from the body is the death of the body, so the separation of God from the soul is the death of the soul. And this death of the soul is the true death.”

“Saying that what we call our “selves” consist only of our bodies and that reason, soul, and love arise only from the body, is like saying that what we call our body is equivalent to the food that feeds the body. It is true that my body is only made up of digested food and that my body would not exist without food, but my body is not the same as food. Food is what the body needs for life, but it is not the body itself. The same thing is true of my soul. It is true that without my body there would not be that which I call my soul, but my soul is not my body. The soul may need the body, but the body is not the soul.”

“The body apologizes to the soul for its errors, and the soul asks forgiveness for squatting in the body without invitation.”
