Few causes are more worthy than that of enlightening Westerners about India's sacred heritage, and this book succeeds in doing that wondrously.
-Huston Smith, author of The  World's Religions

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.

The Presence of God

All is change in the world of the senses,
but changeless is the supreme Lord of Love.
Meditate on Him, be absorbed in Him,
wake up from this dream of separateness.

Know God and all fetters will fall away.
No longer identifying yourself with the body,
go beyond birth and death.
All your desires will be fulfilled in Him
who is One without a second.

Know Him to be enshrined
in your heart always.
Truly there is nothing more in life to know.
Meditate and realize that this world
is filled with the presence of God.
— Shvetashvatara Upanishad
(From Sacred Jewels of Yoga)
