“The essential assumption underlying yogic practice is that the true state of the human spirit is freedom, which has been lost through misindentification of one’s place in a phenomenal world of ceaseless change.  This is the root of human suffering.  Paradoxically, in yoga the freedom of spiritual integrity occurs in the act of discipline itself, which is ultimately rendered superfluous by the reality its practice discloses.”
