{ …Rather, we should know the feeling of being a little better today than yesterday exist just as much as the hope that we will be a little better in the future. These feelings[obstacles] will come and go until we reach the point where there is no better and no worse. }

{ …What is important is that we never try to force…we must just create space for ourselves, for the mind…whether it is through [our own image of God], or with the aid of breathing techniques, whether it is by approaching a teacher or investigating our senses—whenever there is confusion in our minds we must try to create space. there are many possibilities for getting out of a difficult situation. Ways and means can always be found for overcoming the obstacles we meet. }

{ …Karma is action.... If the fruits our efforts do not correspond to our expectations, we should not be disappointed, for the effort is often imperfect. Our actions should indeed never be determined by any expectations, for we can never be sure of the results of our actions. We should also not take the credit when things turn out well, for we are not necessarily personally responsible for successes anymore than we are failures. And it could well be that we see things in different light tomorrow. We must involve ourselves through action, but leave the rest to God and expect nothing. }

{ … We must not let ourselves be confused by the way the different schools describe the same process…Many people want to give everything and everyone a label. Unfortunately these classifications have become much too important and give the impression that there are fundamental differences between the various forms of yoga. But really they are all dealing with the same thing, and are only looking at them from different perspectives. If we really follow one direction in yoga as far as we can go, then it will lead us along all paths of yoga. }

TKV Desikachar, The Heart of Yoga

{…following one teacher and one direction helps you discover the ways and means of avoiding and overcoming obstacles…}

my one teacher is [ all ] ;
my one direction is [ inward ] ;
my one discipline is [ creation ] .
