    Collated Related Short Posts & Quotes:

    “It is not the number of hours in Meditation,
    the type of Ratio in Prāṇāyāma,
    the number of times you turn the Mālā,
    it is the intensity of the attempt.
    An intense effort by a feeble person is better
    than a feeble effort by an intense person.
    Thus, intensity is not on a practical scale,
    but on an individual level.
    Especially when considering the problems
    that daily life superimpose on one,
    and our efforts therein.”
    – TKV Desikachar on Yoga Sūtra Chapter One verse 22
