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 Shoreless Ocean

In me, the limitless ocean,
on the rising of the wind of the mind,
diverse waves of worlds are produced.

With the calming of the wind of the mind,
in the infinite ocean of myself,
the seeming self vanishes.
How wonderful!

In me, the shoreless ocean,
the waves of individual selves,
according to their nature,
rise, strike each other,
play for a time, and then disappear.
— Astavakra Samhita
(From Sacred Jewels of Yoga)
