INSPIRE ME

Inspire Me
“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.”

Patanjali (c. First to Third Century B.C.)

The author of Yoga Sutras, Patanjali lived in India probably one to three centuries before Christ and is considered the person who established the tradition of meditation. He has been described as a mathematician of mysticism and an Einstein in the world of the Buddha’s.

I was first introduced to this Patanjali quote from Dr. Wayne Dyer. He showcases him in his wonderful book Wisdom of the Ages. A book of sixty teachers who felt compelled to share their wisdom for the benefit of each of us living here now. I highly recommend this book, it has wonderful writings, poetry, and quotes from some of the greatest minds ever to hit the planet.

With Love and Eternal Light,

Danna
