15 – Sadhana Pada Verses 33 – 37 | Yamas and Niyamas 2

-“We get transformed according to our own samskaras - for that we had to work - but there's a tendency for us to practice non-violence in the presence of a person who is fully established in the practice of non-violence. That's the implication of the 35th Sutra.”

-“Respect for teachers - some kind of sense of respect, humility, to somebody who has given you something without expecting anything in return - that's the beginning of contentment.”
