'Can I extend my awareness of my self and bring it to each and every part of my body without any variation This is what I mean by fullness in meditation.'

BKS Iyengar THE TREE OF YOGA 'the flower'

This is how a human being can change:

There's a worm addicted to eating grape leaves.
Suddenly, he wakes up, call it Grace, whatever, something wakes him, and he's no longer a worm.
He's the entire vineyard, and the orchard too, the fruit, the trunks, a growing wisdom and joy
that doesn't need
to devour.

RUMI 'The Worm's Waking' Coleman Barks version

Donna Farhi YOGA MIND BODY & SPIRIT 'Letting the Breath Move You'

You who want knowledge, seek the Oneness within There you will find the clear mirror already waiting
