“You must purge yourself before finding faults in others. When you see a mistake in somebody else, try to find if you are making the same mistake.

At one time I was asked to become a sannyasin and renounce the world, but I declined. I wanted to live as an ordinary householder with all the trials and tribulations of life and to take my yoga practice r to average people who share my life with me the common life of work, marriage and children. I was blessed with all three…”
