Few causes are more worthy than that of enlightening Westerners about India's sacred heritage, and this book succeeds in doing that wondrously.

An exquisite compilation of yoga wisdom revealing the heart of Indian spirituality.
-New World Library 

Sacred Jewels of Yoga presents in very powerful and inspiring language the eternal yoga wisdom of ancient India. I am sure that the spiritual teachings offered in this beautiful anthology will appeal to the modern seekers of America. May they be inspired to progress toward this life's goal.

Giving Up the Fruits of Action

The path of devotion
is the easiest way to attain God.
Love is its own proof
and does not require any other.
Its nature is peace and supreme bliss.

The devotee does not grieve at any personal loss,
for he has surrendered himself,
everything he has,
and even the rites and ceremonies
which are enjoined by the scriptures.

Even though the devotee may have
surrendered himself utterly to the Lord,
he must not renounce action in the world,
but continue to perform it,
giving up the fruits of action to the Lord.
— Narada’s Bhakti Sutras
(From Sacred Jewels of Yoga)
