Deepening the Awareness of the Asanas - Twists

When all the desires that surge in the heart
Are renounced, the mortal becomes immortal.
When all the knots that that strangle the heart
Are loosened, the mortal becomes immortal
This sums up the teaching of the scriptures.

- KATHA 11.3 14-15

Katha II.2.2


The Self is the sun shining in the sky.
The wind blowing in space; he is the fire
At the altar and in the home the guest;
He dwells in human beings, in gods, in truth,

Katha Upanishad II.2.11


As the sun, who is the eye of the world,
Cannot be tainted by the defects in our eyes
Nor by the objects it looks on,
So the one Self, dwelling in all, cannot
Be tainted by the evils of the world
For this Self transcends all!
