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.

Wisdom in the Self

Brahman is the first cause
And the last refuge.
Brahman, the hidden Self in everyone,
does not shine forth.
He is revealed only to those
who keep their mind one-pointed
on the Lord of Love,
and thus develop a superconscious
manner of knowing.

Meditation enables them to go
deeper and deeper into consciousness,
from the world of words,
to the world of thoughts,
then beyond thoughts,
to wisdom in the Self.
— Katha Upanishad
(From Sacred Jewels of Yoga)
