Mind is the king of the senses; breath is the king of the mind; and the nerves are king of the breath.

Work before eating, rest after eating. Eat not ravenously, filling the mouth gulp after gulp without breathing space.

If we practice breathing slow, long and deep, then life will be more active and peaceful. Those who breathe fast live short lives.

As fire purifies metal, breath-control purifies the mind and the senses.

Tranquil Moment beyond breath is Allah, that is, the House of Tranquility.

Prayer within breath is silence, love within infinity is silence, Wisdom without word is silence, compassion without aim is silence, action without doer is silence, smiling with all existence is silence

My heart is filled with love for Krishna; every moment, every breath is dedicated to Him.

Every breath you take is a step towards death.

Everybody is born with the capacity to enjoy, but not with the art. People think just because they are alive and they breathe and they exist, they know how to enjoy. That is sheer stupidity. Enjoyment is a great art, it is a great discipline. It is as subtle a discipline as music or poetry or painting. It is the greatest creativity.

We accepted a definition of ourselves which confined the self to the source and to the limitations of conscious attention. This definition is miserably insufficient, for in fact we know how to grow brains and eyes, ears and fingers, hearts and bones, in just the same way that we know how to walk and breathe, talk and think - only we can't put it into words. Words are too slow and too clumsy for describing such things, and conscious attention is too narrow for keeping track of all their details.

As leaves move in the wind, your mind moves with your breath.

Peace is present right here and now, in ourselves and in everything we do and see... Every breath we take, every step we take, can be filled with peace, joy, and serenity.

Breath is the king of mind.

Nothing is more creative than death, since it has the whole secret of life. It means that the past must be abandoned, that the unknown cannot be avoided, that 'I' cannot continue, and that nothing can be ultimately fixed. When a man knows this, he lives for the first time in his life. By holding his breath, he loses it. By letting go he finds it.

Who am I?' The answer is 'I am God'. The body comes and goes, but the Atma is permanent. The body has birth and death, but the spirit does not have any of these. You reach the stage where you say, 'I am God', but even there, there is duality, 'God and I'. That is not the full Truth. When we breathe, the breath makes the sound of 'So-Hum', 'He am I'. There is still the body consciousness, the 'I'. But in deep sleep, the declaration of 'He' and 'I' falls away and only '0' and 'M' remain, 'Om'; there is only the One.

If one moves the breath (practices Pranayama) always, breath ceases and becomes tranquil, sthira.

To resist change, to try to cling to life, is therefore like holding your breath: if you persist you kill yourself.

One conscious breath in and out is a meditation.

If you learn to go beyond the jabbering of your mind, and can go to the deeper aspects of your consciousness, then body, breath, and mind will not come in your way.

Breath and mind are correlated. When the restlessness of the prana disappears, life becomes divine.

When you go deeply into the present, gratitude arises spontaneously, even if it's just gratitude for breathing, gratitude for the aliveness that you feel in your body. Gratitude is there when you acknowledge the aliveness of the present moment.

Yoga is a study of life, study of your body, breath, mind, intellect, memory, and ego. Study of your inner faculties!

Cultivate purity and love in every breath.
